The precedent in this case already exists in Midler v. Ford Motor Co., in which when Academy Award nominated actress and singer Bette Midler sued Ford after Ford hired musical impersonators to sing famous songs for their commercials.

The court ultimately ruled in favor of Midler, because it was found that Ford gave clear instructions to the impersonating actress to sound as much like Midler as possible, and the ruling was voices, although not copyrightable, still constitutes their distinct identity and is protected against unauthorized use without permission. (Outside of satire, of course, since I doubt someone like Trump would be above suing people for making fun of him.)

I think Scarlett Johansson has a case here, but it really hinges on whether or not OpenAI actively gave the instruction specifically to impersonate Scarlett’s voice in “Her”, or if they used her voice inside the training data at all, since there is a difference in the “Sky” voice and the voice of Scarlett Johansson.

But then again, what do I know, I’m just here to shitpost and promote “Barbie”.

That’s, uh, “Jaime Pressly”, who is totally not esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie doing an American Southern accent to get more work in the US.

Hey, I have more than one comedy bit I do here other than something something Hell in a Cell, OK?

Speaking of which, Hell in a Cell isn’t even that exciting anymore after the WWE made it an annual event and painted the cages red, and why did Seth Rollins get disqualified after he attacked “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt with a sledgehammer 2019 even though Hell in a Cell matches have always been no disqualification?

It’s like their script writers don’t even care about their own rules.

Who knew someone who plays characters on screen for a living would be so good at playing a character?

As Australia’s only Barbi-llionaire, I vote to replace her portrait with a funny portrait of me in the exhibition instead.

Most serious artists have switched to using ArtStation and/or Instagram a long time ago, not because of AI, but because of the weird stuff on DeviantArt.

This article also misrepresented Andersen v. Stability AI, you can read the judge’s opinion here:

…bakerlaw.com/…/ECF-117-Order-on-Motion-to-Dismis…

But basically, the judge’s opinion was scathing and dismissed all but one of the plaintiffs’ claims.

There is a very good reason you can’t copyright artistic styles.

Wait, you mean to tell me that the beautiful woman that you are talking to online could actually be a marketing team that is creating the idealized image of said woman designed specifically as a commercial product, like some kind of movie about a plastic doll, Barbie, now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services?

Who would do such a thing?

Of course I am.

Would esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress and producer Margot Robbie ever lie to you on the Internet?

I would have, if they named the movie “It’s Hardin’ Time” like I wanted, but nooo, “Nobody would get that reference, and what do you mean you want your character to ‘Tonya Harding all over Nancy Kerrigan’?”

MargotRobbie, 5 days ago

Exactly.

I would know, because sometimes, I play her on TV.
