Well given what has come out about OpenAI's disclosure policy I wonder how much of "To protect their privacy, we cannot share the names of our voice talents." is true.
Have any of the actors publicly commented on their involvement?
> having an "approachable" or "charismatic" voice that "feels timeless" were among the characteristics it targeted to create the personalities
Surely these same criteria determine the success of actors such as Scarlett.
> "This is giving such “female character as written by men” vibes," said one person on X. "Why is she so obsequious and flirty?"
My read: OpenAI very deliberately paid homage to Her by building a working version of Samantha, as a relatable and impactful way to get people to realize "holy crap, what seemed like fanciful scifi suddenly exists." They (very likely) didn't base Sky's voice on Scarlett's, but on some level designed it around the Samantha character. The Court of Xitter Opinion decided that the similarity was close enough to fuel outrage, and OpenAI decided that removing Sky would benefit them more than keeping it.
Outrage about what? Being too obvious about the fact that AI can out-converse and even out-flirt increasingly more humans?
Outrage that a company whose foundation is "laundering IP by running it through a complicated obfuscation engine" has created a product that is largely based on a critique of its own nature?
The only way they could've been more on-the-nose would've been to use Lucy Liu.
> They (very likely) didn't base Sky's voice on Scarlett's, but on some level designed it around the Samantha character.
Oh, totally, they just based it on the voices12 collection, which they won't tell us anything about, and by the way they've conveniently already deleted. /s
