It kinda feels like its on purpose. Someone in a previous thread mentioned that this might have been a cynical marketing ploy and I'm warming up to the theory. After they recorded the Sky VA, they figured out a whole marketing campaign with SJ to promote the voice feature. After she turned them down (twice), they released with just enough crumbs referencing the movie to goad SJ into committing a first degree Streisand.

With the slow roll out, everyone would have forgotten about the feature the day after the announcement but now it's been in the news for a week, constantly reminding everyone of what's coming up.

In addition they have prepared for a full court case before hand, with all their ducks in a row in theory. I am not a lawyer so I am not sure if the law works this way but this might help them defend their case and set a precedence.

That sounds plausible actually. The controversy has given OAI free marketing.

Calling it a Streisand on behalf of SJ is wrong though. She wanted it to be a topic of discussion and succeeds with it.

Are we really at a point where tech companies will bait lawsuits just to get more PR? Clearly they need to be smited down to remember why old school companies go out of their way to avoid such possibilities of lawsuits
