Not anything literally from the script, but I assume that’s where the concept of a voice controlled AI assistant came from - whoever holds the rights to that in relation to the title “Her”. So if it’s based on a novel or story, clearly the writer of that.
It really isn’t where it came from, they are just the current most popular example of it. We literally had Alexa before the movie came out, as well as An de Armas in the second blade runner and Cortana in the halo video game series as notable examples. AI assistants have always been ubiquitous with sci Fi movies, in most cases they control the ship and aren’t personal though.
I’m aware of that, but we seem to get get distracted from the main point. In the case of OpenAI versus “Her” (i.e. Them launching a similar product, and referencing the film), I think it’s the owners of the Her IP that should have a right to complain. Not an actress that was in it, and whose voice is similar to it. According to the article, there were 2 well-known actresses whose vice matched even better. Should they take action as well?
All of this is under the assumption that they didn’t actual train on her voice - which does seem likely.
Similar voices, clearly different actresses. Imagine refusing a job then feeling entitled to some sort of compensation…
If the company uses a reference to you to make money, I’d definitely feel entitled to compensation.
It’s not the script writer or the producer that’s complaining though. I think it’s more reasonable for them to want compensation.
Producer, maybe. But what part of the script did they use for marketing of an unrelated product?
