It sounds nothing like johansson, like nothing at all.

This whole controversy makes no sense and is obvious that the media is looking for something to attack openai with.




Sounds like they just shifted the voice with some Fast Fourier transforms - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63339608/change-the-melo...


To my ears it sounds similar but not identical - I can tell which is which.

Apparently they selected the actress from auditions in early 2023, a while before the Johansson timeline.

Of course the OpenAI folk would likely have seen Her and may have selected someone sounding like that.


If you read that thread you will see a link to the sky voice outside of the demo voice which is much closer. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RcgV2u9Kxh0


Indeed. I was looking for a sample this morning and it’s just nonsense. Sounds like a polite American voice actor female. Johansson has many mannerisms and a different accent. Sounds nothing like her.
