Honestly, some of the mannerisms and vocal features certainly seem inspired by Ms. Johansen’s likeness in the Movie Her… and Open AI probably should have not used a voice this close to Johansen’s especially in light of her declining the first voice contract offer. But the fact is, just because 4o invokes the spirit of Samantha in “Her”, the voice is definitely different and across all the online chatter about GPT-4o last week, I didn’t hear about anyone talking specifically about how the voice sounded exactly like Johansen’s. It was only after Johansen made this big public statement and presumed legal threat that people were talking about Johansens likeness. I’m sure there might have been a few but does anyone have any actual evidence from before Johansen’s statements?
