I don't think it's a particularly similar voice to begin with, and the technology in general is very 'Her' like - which would also explain why they reached out to ScarJo to do an additional voice.

I think the tweet was dumb but in my layperson's understanding of the law and the situation, I doubt OpenAI is at any huge legal risk here.

It doesn't really matter their legal risk here, IMO. What matters is the court of public opinion in this case.

Even if they are able to show irrefutable proof that it wasn't ScarJo and is in fact another person entirely it will not matter.

This is one of those times that no matter what the facts show people will be dug in one way or another.

You seem to be missing the point: It wasn't that "people ... biased themselves into it"; it was the name, the ex-board-member's direct reference to Johansson, and Altman's tweet that did that.
