And they didn't use her voice. Article clearly states that she said she is shocked they choose similar voice to her after she declined. It makes sense for open Ai to choose similar one because when they were preparing list of the voices they obviously wanted voice to be of her kind. It's not like her voice is something so fucking unique she has copyright over all of the similar voices in the world
And despite all your lame denials they are shutting that voice down. Why is that?
compliance isn't admission of guilt but again it's OPENAI.
Because lawsuits are expensive, even when you're not guilty.
I don't think they'd be stupid enough to lie about hiring a voice actress for a voice model when they didn't.
Avoiding dramas caused by unreasonable human population
I guess every out of court settlement is an admission of guilt in your eyes? It's nothing to do with the massive amount of money wasted dealing with legal matters or anything.
The court of public opinion has a much lower burden of proof than the court of law.
If Scarlett Johansson is trying to accuse them of using her voice without consent, do you really think it will only end up in the court of public opinion? My point is that it might escalate to court, which OpenAI might not want to deal with. Backing down in this case is just as much of an admission of guilt as taking a settlement out of court, which is not at all.
