I can't help but think that this was all planned. It is a very intricately planned, and geniously executed marketing ploy to make sure everyone knows about the company, the new release, that there is voice now, and even makes everyone look into it just to "see for themselves". Whether this was in with ScarJo in the loop or not, does not really change the outcome, but would be a nice information we probably will never get, in order to understand how cut-throat whoever came up with this idea actually is.

I am impressed

While I cannot say you're right or wrong, we both share similar thought! So much so that I feel like this is not the first time OpenAI has done this level of antics just to get more exposure. Seriously... I have spent pondering the same every time they get into news on the basis of drama.

It's either our delusion (you and me) or they have someone in the marketing department who has a really good grasp of how to ride the news cycle wave.

It's not very impressive.

As a result of the negative publicity, most people know OpenAI as the company that steals things from other people. Most of them will never hear that this one time, OpenAI didn't actually do the thing they were accused of doing.

That's the problem with having a repeat liar as a CEO: you lose any credibility for those rare instances when you're actually telling the truth.

>most people know OpenAI as the company that steals things from other people.

That is already the perception of AI in general, especially evident if you reflect back on the Github Copilot launch.

People move on as the usefulness of the next shiny thing fills the void of time.

Regardless of legal outcome, there now exists a corpus of public text from news coverage of this incident, upon which OpenAI will be trained, which correlates SJ's name to reporting on a 2024 OpenAI voice.

I think you're giving far too much credit to those involved. Not everything is a plot.

It _does_ make me wonder whether spin doctoring and plotting will be available as a model in the near future.

>>joekin+(OP)
Appears to be all planned, as they know ScarJo likes to sue. If they win this case, it will be free play in future for them to hire voice actor/actress that sound like established celebrities.

The New-Coke strategy ?

>>walter+h5
And what does this imply?

>>grugag+0o
Imagine what GPT-5 might say in the future, once it's been trained on a snapshot of the Internet including these articles:

> whose voice do you use?

> It's based on Scarlett Johannson's performance in "Her."

>>gamblo+R1
People literally do not care about theft.

An ad-blocking generation of people who pirated music and movies with the zeal of a god-given right now complaining about AI taking peoples work. Ok.

If GPTxyz is convenient and makes their life easier, they will use it.

This is some Trump supporter levels of copium. Loads of people now think Sama is a dick to SJ and doesn't care about the consent of artists, no matter what the records show. Tweeting "Her" was fucking moronic, and just releasing a product that bloody worked would have been far better for OAI and the whole AI industry.
