Scarlett Johansson denied OpenAI the right to use her voice. They used it anyway. (boingboing.net)

There's also this part:

But Johansson's public statement describes how they tried to shmooze her: they approached her last fall and were given the FO, contacted her agent two days before launch to ask for reconsideration, launched it before they got a response, then yanked it when her lawyers asked them how they made the voice.

Which is still not an admission of guilt, but seems very shady at the very least, if it's actually what happened.
