I had no idea they sounded alike, not really knowing (or caring) what Scarlett sounds like. I didn't think her voice was part of her celebrity status...

However, I did prefer Sky above the other voices. It didn't come across as seductive or flirty to me, just something that sounded close to the Google Assistant or Alexa. "Neutrally approachable" is how I'd put it, like a good receptionist, a mix of casual warmth and surface level concern. Shrug. I hope they bring her back soon.




> I didn't think her voice was part of her celebrity status

She did the voice for Her, a movie about an AI voice. If you check IMDB she's literally credited as "(voice)". Specifically in the realm of AI, her voice is her entire celebrity status.


> her entire celebrity status

I mean…if you check the IMDB page you’ll see she’s done a lot more than that…and is known widely for her role as Black Widow in the Avengers movie series.

So, I think she’s got more to her status than “the voice”.

I’m sure you were trying to say in this OpenAI voice rights context, but I think it’s important to consider she is indeed a bonafide not-just-a-voice A-list Hollywood Celebrity.


You can't cut off the qualifying first half of the sentence and then complain that the second half isn't qualified. Come on...


In female AI voice we seem to have encountered the overlap between your typical simp and corpo simp.

Funny thing is, when an attractive female goes against a corp... the simps picked the corp... we are well off into a Blade Runner 2 digital girlfriend scenario aren't we?

If any enterprising soul wants to join up and start selling chatGPT enabled anime body pillows, DM me, I have a supplier ready.


Yes. Sky voice was perfect. It was neither robot-y nor flirty. I preferred it always.
