And we're not in a court of justice here, where that distinction would be extremely important.

This is all about public opinion, and they have communication managers and PR strategists. If they didn't train this voice on Scarlett Johansson, they would have had so much better of a response by not taking it offline and instead insisting it is not trained on her. The entire discourse right now would be very different. And you can't shift this back later, burned is burned.

The way I see it, there's 3 options:

· they did train it on Scarlett's voice

· they don't know if they trained it on Scarlett's voice

· their PR/communications people don't know what they're doing

I don't think #2 is any better than #1. If it's #3… idk, better companies have been ruined by poor PR.
