2:24

@@MatthewCarano Sorry, my bad, although according to IMDB it is 2:28. Either way, it is closer to two and a half hours than two hours.

Totally. I just don't love his style. He's background music .

Haha Celine!

I appreciate what your saying, but my point is, if they were trying to make the VO artist "sound like" ScarJo, they would EQ it the same way. So not only did they use a different artist, they also didn't try to make her sound the same. Thanks!

@@MatthewCarano Yes, I agree. That's a good point.

Agree 100% on this. Drake is background music while you're doing other things. Lamar is art.

Hes singing fir the young girls obviously 😅😅😅

I was in touch with the VO artist after I made the video. Def didn't steal ScarJo's voice. They recorded Sky months before Altman reached out to ScarJo.

That's very unfortunate for her. I trust celebrities as much as I trust openai. Not at all. It's often the average people who gets screwed by their nonsense.

I agree it sounds nothing like her. And I'm shocked ScarJo herself doesn't hear the difference. I would 100% be able to tell if something is my voice or not. Also, after I made this video, the woman who voiced Sky reached out to me on Twitter. She told me they recorded her months before Altman reached out to ScarJo. It's not even a question they're different people. Thanks for watching!

@@MatthewCarano Yeah, as a small creator, I get it. I felt like a like and a comment is warranted. But yeah, I am not surprised at all that the voice actress is a little upset. I would be, too. Scar Jo is a bit of a narcissist. She will go after anyone she feels is stepping on her "brand" or image. I hope they return the Sky voice because it is the only good one they offer.

A lot of people have said that :(

That's just not true, it wasn't intentional. For one, the VO artist recorded Sky months before Altman ever asked ScarJo to provide a voice for OpenAI. Sky was first. And, for another, they sound nothing alike, nor do they "look" alike through an EQ.

Why thank you

No it's not.

It's not her. I'm in contact with the VO artist who also did interviews in WaPo, etc. And no, it sounds nothing like her.

It’s a joke dude lol

OAI was trying to mimic ScarJo's voice, the production would be the same/similar, and show up that way on the EQ.

Agreed

A LOT of people have told me the same thing. They shouldn't have taken it down. Doesn't sound like SarJo.

I didn’t think it sounded like SJ either. They blew it by changing it and now I dislike using it. It’s a small thing but only one female voice isn’t enough. Hoping they reverse this move.

For sure. I hope the truth comes it whatever it is.

Not at all. you'd think Johansson would know the sound of her own voice.

@@MatthewCarano I think it sounds a lot like her. It's interesting isn't it, the qualities we notice about somebody's voice and looks as well, they vary wildly. People might think another voice sounds like ScarJo because it's breathy, while I don't really pay attention to that aspect would say it sounds nothing like ScarJo. They got a sound-a-like which is similar but not the same. They got the qualities they valued from scarjo's voice like any voice casting does! They always say "I want somebody who vibes like xyz voice actor" lol... that doesn't mean sounds exactly the same as, but obviously they share qualities.

@@knifeyonline Also, how are these people listening to it, crappy laptop speakers? Clearly Sam wanted to link up the movie in peoples minds to get mindshare association, but the human voice only has so much diversity - there are likely tens of thousands of people out there that actually DO sound like XYZ celebrity, you can't assert ownership over voices like that - just look at the Elvis impersonators.

I actually posted this video on X on May 21st before the Wapo article came out, and I'm in touch with the voice actress who performed Sky. She reached out after she saw my video. But yes! Debunked indeed. Unfortunately people are still arguing OpenAI stole the voice from Johansson, so thought I'd post here as well. Thanks for your comment!

@@MatthewCaranoAltman admitted openly he was a HUGE fan of the movie, Her. He tweeted ‘Her’ when he showcased the new voice. His hubris is his undoing. These guys literally wipe their proverbial a$$ with copyright law and IP law. They deserve everything they have coming to them. And more. The fact he sought Scarlett out after the first iteration is irrelevant, his fandom of the film, the direction of the voice talent, the emulation of the film, a WB distributed property…. The guy is sunk. I feel sorry for the voice actor too. An unwitting pawn.

@@macandbern Being a fan of "Her" and asking ScarJo to provide a voice, does not mean he stole her voice. He did not. They don't even sound alike. Don't look alike under inspection. However you feel about Altman is irrelevant when the facts don't support the theft.

@@MatthewCarano But you don’t know all the facts. The film and altmans preoccupation with it pre-dates the timeline of events involving the actress. They pulled the ‘sky’ voice as soon as the lawyers asked for details regarding how the voice came to be. In the same way the AI can create any voice, it’s almost guaranteed they they likely mixed the voice actor with reference clips from “Her”. That’s literally exactly what their technology does…. Emulate copyrighted original content in a new way…. Hey, I’m happy to just sit back and watch this one play out….but I’m betting this goes Scarjo’s way, 99.999%.

Thank you!

Gotta keep up!

Totally does sound like a barking dog! And you hear more of the sound after the strike instead of the strike itself. Makes sense with the vocals. Sounds like a distorted whisper in the first half of the second verse in particular. Amazing production attention to detail!

🔥

Glad it helped, cheers!

Awesome! Glad it helped. Cheers!
