Scarlett Johansson denied OpenAI the right to use her voice. They used it anyway. (boingboing.net)

Yeah I thought OpenAI came out and said that they modeled the voice of a different actress, and they don't want to share their identity out of a respect for privacy.

It could just be a coincidence that Altman tweeted the image from Her, and people made the connection between the voice and ScarJo, especially since she did something extreme similar in that movie.

Could be coincidental. Could not be. We don't really have the evidence to say either way, but maybe ScarJo's suit will affect change so that better rights are granted to people and their digital twins.
