While the Sky voice and a version of ChatGPT Voice have been around for some time, the comparison to Johansson became more obvious due to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and many others, drawing the similarity between the new AI model and the movie "Her".

When your CEO inadvertently helps build a copyright suit against your product... Not a good look.

[-] slimarev92@lemmy.world 53 points 5 months ago

The whole product is a copyright suit.

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 10 points 5 months ago

I think it's just so many of them at once they're hoping they'll cancel out

I mean, it's worked for exceptionally well for C. Montgomery Burns, so why not this other cartoon miscreant?

Now we just need OpenAI to file a copyright suit against someone using their publicly available stuff to train an AI, and we'll reach peak hilarity.

[-] pdxfed@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

"peak hilarity", or as they call it in copyright court, "Tuesday".

[-] AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world 92 points 5 months ago

Pay the lady whatever she asks and make it sound COMPLETELY like her. Worth it.

[-] erwan@lemmy.ml 22 points 5 months ago

They asked her already and she refused.

[-] misk@sopuli.xyz 53 points 5 months ago

They knew what they were doing.

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 51 points 5 months ago

It does. And it’s horny.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

How is it horny?

I need details.

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Since everyone is forcing OpenAI to license their data, OpenAI is being forced to scrape free chaturbate streams.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

So all it does is ask for tips?

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

While sitting there doing absolutely nothing then occasionally typing and looking bored... Or so my friend tells me.

[-] Wilshire@lemmy.world 40 points 5 months ago
[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 23 points 5 months ago

That’s actually pretty good!

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

That's actually scarily good.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Now all we need is it to talk to you in a sexy way

[-] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 9 points 5 months ago

Whelp, we're one step ever closer to terminators. Just gotta let Boston Dynamics cook now

They revealed some sort of companion for your phone that is ironically close to those in the movie „Her“ where the virtual girlfriend is voiced by Scarlet Johansson.

[-] erwan@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 months ago

They want us to believe it was by accident but I'm pretty sure it wasn't.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

It’s definitely not an accident. This is Cuntman’s goal.

[-] Rhaedas@kbin.social 3 points 5 months ago

Irony, since Scarlet had dubbed over the original voice actor Samantha Morton because in post Spike Jonze realized the voice needed something "different". So in the movie they needed to turn the dial up a bit, while in reality they started at 11 and had to dial it back.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah if you have the app click on the headphones button. Not sure if it is available on free version.

It's fairly useful. I was cleaning yesterday and just going over some study material with it. Didn't have to keep stopping to type.

[-] Engywuck@lemm.ee 35 points 5 months ago

There's no such a thing as "too much Scarlett Johansson"

[-] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago

Depends on whether or not she has grounds to sue.

[-] Bach37strad@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

If she can prove they used Johansen's voice as training data... Maybe. If the pitch and tambre of openai's voice came about naturally I don't see what leg they have to stand on.

Iirc it's not like recording artists can sue other singers that happen to sound like them.

[-] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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?

[-] Talaraine@kbin.social 9 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] towerful@programming.dev 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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.

[-] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Aw man, Amelia Tyler is so amazing too. Her narration is amazing, and she's got a lot of funny TikTok videos

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

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.

Sky is my favorite voice. It'd be a shame if they took it away as her voice is by far the best one of the bunch. It sounds so natural and makes Siri, Cortana, and Alexa seem crude in comparison.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Kinda related. What do you call yours? I called my GPT.

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Haven't really assigned a name yet. I only just subscribed to it a few days ago to help me create cover letters to accompany my resume.

concerns it sounds too much like Scarlett Johansen is sly lingo for we may get sued by this actress for stealing her likeness

[-] llamapocalypse@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

So they're just doing a way shittier version of the movie "Her"?

[-] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

It didn't sound anything like her.

[-] PoliticalAgitator@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

That's not what the CEO of the company thought.

[-] JCreazy@midwest.social 12 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] bungalowtill@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 months ago

Wow, the media figured that out now? After what, 6 months since this has been public and for free?

[-] admin@lemmy.my-box.dev 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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?

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Always text back random numbers that text you and definitely join their secret Telegram channel.
