I honestly wouldn't have even thought they sounded all that similar were it not for openai themselves courting comparisons to the movie Her.

They’re not especially similar. I think the talking style is very close, people say it is flirty in the same way as the film. You can’t copyright look and feel though, can you?

You can certainly patent it.

"In general terms, a “utility patent” protects the way an article is used and works (35 U.S.C. 101), while a “design patent” protects the way an article looks (35 U.S.C. 171)."

Microsoft argued in court that you can not and won. See Apple vs Microsoft if I recall correctly.

If listen to them back to back (Scarlett from Her and Sky) they aren't similar at all. Scarlett has a distinctive raspiness to her voice that entirely doesn't exist in Sky. Sky isn't doing an impression of Scarlett.

However, they both sound like AIs because Scarlett is playing that role and so is OpenAI's voice app.
