No. You missed the point on this one. The voice in fact is not her voice, and does not sound the same. Lots of voice actors can approximate her voice legally and also naturally have a voice with some similarities. She has no claim here. This is a case of an actor with the emotional range of a bot being jealous of an actual bot.
The optics for openAI were pretty dreadful here Andrew, you can make whatever argument you like. It's definitely not an app I'll be using on a regular basis.
Their marketing choices will alienate some people. And frankly it displays a certain kind of desperation.
No, you are downstream from this kind of progress and will be forced to use their tech or become obsolete by those that do. You will write about them in the future, and this kind of journalism will find only a smaller niche, as it is replaced by expert discovery/posts on X vs legacy journalism which is just middle man conjecture/regurgitation
The problem with guys like Sam Altman is that they always think the answer is more technology, no matter what the question is. However, there comes a tipping point, as I see it, where more automation does more harm than good and this is the point we are at now
I mean we’ve been talking about ambient computing, Voice-AI and IoT everywhere for two decades, but we don’t seem that close to it in practice.
Instead we are even more tethered to our phones. However GenAI have mostly failed to even create apps that are sticky. Think about all the money that has poured into the space, and they cannot even achieve that.
Amazon has plans to charge a monthly sub for its updated Alexa. That won’t be part of Amazon prime.
The article raises important concerns about the ethical implications of AI-generated voices and the potential for misuse. There isn't a good solution right now.
Altman’s obsession has not gone horribly wrong. We’re talking about his product all day long every day. Looks like a successful marketing campaign to me.

Well-said.
