It didn't sound anything like her.
That's not what the CEO of the company thought.
After listening to it, I would say it's a bit of a stretch. It may sound similar but the cadence is different. Definitely not Scarlett.
Wow, the media figured that out now? After what, 6 months since this has been public and for free?
Wow, time goes that fast where you live? I'm posting this 15 minutes after you, so that's like 2 weeks for you.
Got any stock tips?

The ChatGPT case aside, what are the copyright laws on impersonating the voice of an actor portraying a particular film character? If someone imitates the voice of Johnny Depp playing Jack Sparrow, or Andy Serkis playing Gollum, but makes no reference to the character apart from the voice performance, does that infringe on the copyright to the character?
Let's just make the worse possible and then wait to see what happens. Only way to wake up from the AI nightmare. If we survive long enough.
I believe the SAG(Screen Actors Guild) just had a big strike about AI likenesses without proper compensation.
They did, but I'm not sure that applies in this case unless for some reason OpenAI signed a deal with SAG. Otherwise, they aren't beholden to any protections not afforded by the law.
At least, AFAIK. Someone with more legal knowledge should probably chime in
Open AI seems to have dealt with their massive legal issues so far by signing caught red handed agreements.
Apparently the answer is no. There is even someone making a KITT app using a LLM, but using an AI voice based on a voice imitator as they didn't got the rights from William Daniels and that's legal.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

There are no applicable laws that I know about, and as a voice actor I am similarly concerned. There is a lot of focus on this in the industry atm, but we all know how glacially slow government moves. SAG-AFTRA and NAVA have this as a focus currently, and I'm watching with interest.
Apparently Amelia Tyler - the Narrator for BG3 - checked in on some random twitch stream, and they had an AI voice trained from her narration controlled by twitch chat - which was saying some fucking horrendous stuff.
Scary as fuck.
Remember to talk to everyone you know about voice scams. Scammers absolutely are leveraging this tech, and piling it on top of the usual "I've flushed my phone down the toilet, I'm texting from a mates phone and I need money to buy a new one for my job interview tomorrow" kinda scams.
Agree on a password or something, so that if "you" ever call (edit: or text) and put them under pressure then they ask for the password. Scammers will instantly divert or bail.
Aw man, Amelia Tyler is so amazing too. Her narration is amazing, and she's got a lot of funny TikTok videos
IANAL but probably not
Pay the lady whatever she asks and make it sound COMPLETELY like her. Worth it.
They asked her already and she refused.
