      It appears that the voice now defaults to Juniper when using Sky. It's the exact same thing as choosing the Juniper option. My guess is that it falls back to this voice due to Sky's voice being disabled as a redirection method to prevent a nonexistent or broken voice mode. This also makes sense since Juniper is the only other female voice available.

    They obviously chose a voice actress that sounded a lot like SJ's voice. They also obviously modeled the personality off of the AI character SJ played. Sky's voice inflection, mannerisms, and timbre were so similar I find it funny anyone is saying they weren't.
    That said they didn't do anything wrong. The voices are not identical and if they really did the work to create that voice without directly using SJ's voice, then they should be in the clear. I really hope they put the voice back to how it sounded because I love how it sounds.

      This has been a big drama in Skyrim modding for a very long time now. So many people want to expand NPCs in the game, and there's a longstanding argument over whether or not it's right to clone an actor's voice without their permission. But the way I always saw this ending was "Well, you can't prove it's not an impressionist", and ultimately we're going to see impressionists banned because of voice ownership rights. And as stated, yeah, imagine uploading a video on RUclips and you get flagged for impersonating an actor you've never heard of.
      I'm kind of glad to see it blowing up as an issue, as it means the debate might finally come to a consensus soon, hopefully shut down before it snowballs out of control.

      i don't think the final form has been released properly yet. I asked for the voice to change speed and it said it can't currently do that. But my guess is in the coming months we'll be able to use third party tools (because the whole A.I has full API access) and have those tools can provide entire characters that sound like an actor or actress but probably using approximate names to avoid getting sued (space princess for princess Leia for example) But its that final UI where we'll be able to tune the character as you would a character in an RPG dragging sliders that I can't wait for.

    I think they pretty much goaded this into becoming a meme and then walked it back. It looks really bad as its what the A.I is doing that brings the comparison to the movie Her, its not the voice itself. If it were a google voice with no dynamics, giggling etc. responding 7 seconds after you ask it something, no one would have batted an eyelid. Any female voice that gets emotional as you talk to it is going to just scream HER! But really it was such a bad idea to meme this into existence because the movie while fantastic in its depiction of an attentive A.I assistant is ultimately a dystopian nightmare that sends the message that we need more human contact, not machine contact. Has Sam Altman seen the whole movie?

This should inoculate them from lawsuits; then they can bring the voice back. Also, the new voice is an already existing one: Juniper.

They did this because it’s simple to switch back and forth.
