🙄👌👍
This is so dumb, it’s clearly not her.
The bastard went ahead and did it anyway, even when told no.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Actress Scarlett Johansson’s voice bears a striking resemblance to OpenAI’s now-pulled “Sky” personal assistant, according to an artificial intelligence lab analysis conducted by researchers at Arizona State University.
The researchers measured Sky, based on audio from demos OpenAI delivered last week, against the voices of around 600 professional actresses.
The lab study shows that the voices of Sky and Johansson have undeniable commonalities – something many listeners believed, and that now can be supported by statistical evidence, according to Arizona State University computer scientist Visar Berisha, who led the voice analysis in the school’s College of Health Solutions and the College of Engineering.
Berisha said while the study analyzed a vast array of subtle vocal features, it also zoomed in on several particular dimensions of each voice and teased out some differences.
Altman himself amped up the speculation on the day of the release by posting on X one word, “her,” the name of the 2013 romantic sci-fi film in which a lonely man falls in love with a superintelligent computer operating system voiced by Johansson.
The company says he deferred to OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati, who told NPR she didn’t even know what Johannson sounded like until people were comparing Sky to the actress.
The original article contains 786 words, the summary contains 207 words. Saved 74%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
So they used AI to determine this? So I’m sure the result must be totally accurate.
What else does the article say? Hmmm let’s see. “The researchers found that Sky was also reminiscent of other Hollywood stars, including Anne Hathaway and Keri Russell. The analysis of Sky often rated Hathaway and Russell as being even more similar to the AI than Johansson.” Alright that proves it! Clearly this voice was based on Scarlett Johansson!
I am going to follow this shitshow with great interest
Similar voices, clearly different actresses. Imagine refusing a job then feeling entitled to some sort of compensation…
If the company uses a reference to you to make money, I’d definitely feel entitled to compensation.
It’s not the script writer or the producer that’s complaining though. I think it’s more reasonable for them to want compensation.
