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.

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

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

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

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.

There’s no such a thing as “too much Scarlett Johansson”

Tenthrow@lemmy.world on 20 May 2024 14:29 next collapse

Depends on whether or not she has grounds to sue.

Bach37strad@lemmy.world on 21 May 2024 14:16 collapse

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.

higgsboson@dubvee.org on 20 May 2024 14:59 next collapse

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 on 20 May 2024 16:15 collapse

The whole product is a copyright suit.

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.

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

llamapocalypse@lemmy.world on 20 May 2024 15:03 next collapse

So they’re just doing a way shittier version of the movie “Her”?

Gork@lemm.ee on 20 May 2024 15:04 next collapse

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.

Bipta@kbin.social on 20 May 2024 16:31 next collapse

I'm going to stop using their app. It doesn't even sound like her at all...

afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world on 20 May 2024 17:24 collapse

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

AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world on 20 May 2024 16:39 next collapse

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?

erwan@lemmy.ml on 20 May 2024 16:51 next collapse

IANAL but probably not

Talaraine@kbin.social on 20 May 2024 17:03 next collapse

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 on 20 May 2024 18:36 collapse

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 on 20 May 2024 19:29 collapse

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 on 20 May 2024 17:18 next collapse

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.

I believe the SAG(Screen Actors Guild) just had a big strike about AI likenesses without proper compensation.

jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev on 20 May 2024 19:21 collapse

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

kbin_space_program@kbin.run on 20 May 2024 19:46 collapse

Open AI seems to have dealt with their massive legal issues so far by signing caught red handed agreements.

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.

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.
