This should include a comparison!
This is just the beginning of how the confusion A.I. starts. Get ready for deepfake everything, A.I. is simply something ppl can't control once it gets started in earnest.
Oh nah baby gurl don’t play.
I've just listened to comparisons, sounds nothing like her. She's full of hereself🙄
Sky sounds NOTHING like her !! give sky back!
Stop ruining products with Wokeism and censorship!
Did an A.I read this news report? The A.I sounds more human than this guy hahah.
Oh my god. It sounds similar its not exact, this has got to be the most annoying news announcement ever. I was enjoying Sky. I can’t see myself using voice mode without it. Why 😢😮!!!!
I should’ve seen this coming
Nothing good stays longs in this social media world
She has such a generic voice any AI could sound like her
What’s up with the voiceover? The AI sounds much better 😂
i watched all the demo videos on release day and not once did i have the thought „jeez, this sounds like scarlet“. this is ridiculous!
Sam Altman proves that he is AI by not being able to have an original thought.
Doesn't sound like her. People just have bad hearing
To protect privacy? Are you saying that you found an actress that actually prefers not to be credited? I find that hard to believe. Actors want credit, it's what their careers depend on. If there is no credit for the actress, it's because you don't want to give it, not her wish.
So they are stealing actor's voices now for profit?
so what if it sounds similar? it's not her's . end of story.
Are you saying E! News asked ChatGPT and it didn't give you a response?
Now she knows how we poor people feel having to suffer the daily indignities of being oppressed by rlch people like her.
ASI will happen.
I hope she loses
If it is not hers, too bad. They don't need her consent. They should make the person that actually used her voice more popular than Scarlett
What utter nonsense … didn’t think Scarlet was that greedy … and to the person who actually did the Sky voiceover … you sound far better than … her 🙂
