I’ve heard a few different comparisons between her and the AI in question and, personally, the AI sounds almost exactly like Siri and not really like Johansson other than being a female voice.
Which doesn’t really change the case against the company, just who the victim is. Because Siri is also based on a real actress. Who didn’t even agree to the most of the shit her voice was used for with Siri, either. This new AI voice seems, to me, to be built off Siri’s voice so they’re essentially still using a real person’s likeness without permission.
Literally a non issue to the entire world except 1 person and a company…
Why are you trying to side with the company who very obviously did the bad thing then?
From the article itself:
The researchers found that Sky was also reminiscent of other Hollywood stars, including Anne Hathaway and Keri Russell. The analysis of Sky often rated Hathaway and Russell as being even more similar to the AI than Johansson.
I’ve watched Her many years back, and I’ve been following a lot of Johansson’s work in the MCU franchise; I don’t hear her in Sky beyond both voices being similarly aged “female” (can’t really assume the gender of the AI model) voices.
If there are statistical analyses that says otherwise, and aligns with at least some anecdotal evidence, then it isn’t “very obvious”.
Also, people calling out dissimilarities from their anecdotal observations, along with statistical evidence against your personal view doesn’t equate to siding with the company, or against some popular celebrity; but rather, simply calling out their observations. This is just a discussion as to whether or not the voice is similar, try not to get too personally attached to either parties.
