The ChatGPT case aside, what are the copyright laws on impersonating the voice of an actor portraying a particular film character? If someone imitates the voice of Johnny Depp playing Jack Sparrow, or Andy Serkis playing Gollum, but makes no reference to the character apart from the voice performance, does that infringe on the copyright to the character?
Apparently the answer is no. There is even someone making a KITT app using a LLM, but using an AI voice based on a voice imitator as they didn’t got the rights from William Daniels and that’s legal.
They revealed some sort of companion for your phone that is ironically close to those in the movie „Her“ where the virtual girlfriend is voiced by Scarlet Johansson.

Pay the lady whatever she asks and make it sound COMPLETELY like her. Worth it.
They asked her already and she refused.
They knew what they were doing.
ChatGPT has a voice?

That’s actually pretty good!
That’s actually scarily good.
They revealed some sort of companion for your phone that is ironically close to those in the movie „Her“ where the virtual girlfriend is voiced by Scarlet Johansson.
They want us to believe it was by accident but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t.
