Sam tweeting "Her" is a clear as daylight indication that they are deliberately trying to associate the voice with ScarJo's performance.

They're squarely in the zone with knockoff products deliberately aping the branding of the real thing.

"Dr Peppy isn't a trick to piggyback on Dr Pepper, it's a legally distinct brand!" might give you enough of a fig leaf in court with a good lawyer, but it's very obvious what kind of company you're running to anybody paying attention.

Or he tweeted 'her' to compare his product with the movie AI's conversational abilities. It just depends on how one subjectively interprets a single syllable.

There are many many many movies with conversational AIs. Why that one?

That would be a rather weird and boneheaded thing to do, when you've already twice approached said AI's voice actor and been rejected.

There are any number of human-sounding movie AI's, but apparently only one whose actor has specifically and repeatedly rejected this association.

Does he keep getting into ethical hot water because he's a reckless fool, or because he doesn't really care about ethics at all, despite all the theatre?

'Her' is clearly the most similar to that demo, even ignoring the fact that they have slightly similar voices.

Of the films I've seen anyway.
