Honestly sounds nothing like Scarlett Johansson to me. OpenAI is shit for many reasons but this seems just another "AI" hysteria wave being pushed.
It sounds somewhat like her character from the movie Her to me, but based on the standards set by the entertainment industry it seems reasonable for her to lose the lawsuit. If you can't hire an actor for a role, you can get a voice actor to do a similar voice. This is done often in animation.
Crispin Glover's lawsuit against Back to the Future 2 could have set a precedent for image likeness, but he ended up settling, so it seems the industry is just avoiding this problem instead.
That's where the sample in the video is from, no?
Yes, I differentiate because I think Scarlett sounds less like her character from that movie in real life.
I was specifically responding to that side by side comparison though.
I wouldn't say nothing like her, it's uncomfortably close especially after being told no. But after the initial uproar, I was shocked how dissimilar it was when I actually heard it.
Maybe you people all have shitty headphones or ears but they sound nothing alike. This is the first time I heard them, and I really thought by all the drama that they were at least comparable. People need to clean their ears.
I grew up playing classical piano and saxophone. Moved into jazz saxophone and then jazz bass, and eventually played with a (terrible) rock band for a couple of years on bass. Technically (although I torture the term here a bit) I was a professional musician.
Not knowing anything else about you, it's probably a safe bet to put my ear up against yours any day. And while I agree they are clearly different people, if you think they sound nothing alike the bet sounds even safer.
It's funny that you think your stage damaged ears would be somehow "experienced" or whatever type of point you're trying to make here. You blasted your ear drums and now have bad hearing. Either way, you fail to make out the distinctions between the voices clear enough to separate them, I don't, because I have still excellent hearing unfortunately. Claiming you have better ears because you cannot hear the difference is nonsensical.
I've spent my whole life training my ear by listening to and performing music with other people. . .and you can't see the value of that when it comes to listening to stuff? Impressively ignorant.
In my first post (which you responded to) "I was shocked how dissimilar it was"
in my second post (which you responded to) "I agree they are clearly different people"
You in this post "you fail to make out the distinctions between the voices ... you cannot hear the difference"
Man, you're reading comprehension is even worse than your ear. lol
You also said they're "uncomfortably close". But nice cherry picking. Maybe just form less contradictionary opinions and understand what I was replying to, you know, reading comprehension as you said. And yes, if you're a stage musician and handling loud as fuck instruments then your ears will be damaged by that. This isn't even a controversial take but simply the reality of those things and you as an alleged musician should know this.
So, "uncomfortably close" now means I "fail to make out the distinctions"? This doesn't even make sense on it's own, but even less so when taken in context.
You picked only one phrase out of one of my comments, despite two others making it very clear I can tell the difference. And you have the nerve to then claim I'm cherry picking when I pointed to the parts of my statements that prove your accusation wrong? Holy shit, it never ceases to amaze me how blatantly dishonest people will be when they are wrong. lol
It's okay to be wrong. We all fuck up. The important thing is to just admit it and move on, rather than try to pretend you weren't wrong by projecting and lying.
Ah, yes - I'm the one projecting. Are you trying to fill out some sort of bullshit bingo with your incoherent bullshit? But, yes. I responded to the part that disagreed with my original comment. Go figure. Why the fuck are you even responding to me at this point? If you don't have anything to actually say then yes, I indeed rather move on instead of talking to some NPC who has nothing better to do than hold idiotic internet arguments. Farewell.
Because I'm wondering how far you'll go before you'll admit that you were just wrong and made a mistake. Apparently, you're ego is so fragile that you'll leave before doing that, and blame me on the way out.
Funny. You are displaying all the traits you claim to hate about me.
