So ... one of the interesting things in this article is that there's already legal precedent in Johansson's favour here. Apparently, Bette Midler turned down an offer to do a Ford ad, and they got one of her backup singers, and the likeness was so close that a fair few people came to Midler and said they thought she'd done it.
Tom Waits? Same deal, but with Frito-Lay. The Midler precedent was cited.
This? When you add Altman's going on and on about creating the real-life version of an AI that Johansson played in Her on former-Twitter for weeks before it came out? He's going to get eaten alive in court.
Altman has fucked up. He said the quiet part loud. He put the spotlight on it in the worst possible way ... well, for the industries that want to skim people's voices to not pay voice actors etc, anyway. Because not only is it just going to be ... well, slop, honestly, but it's turned a spotlight on not only the issues with AI voices, but also the Midler precedent. Now just about anyone whose voice is approximated by an AI can cite the Midler precedent.
I'm never sure what to make of Johansson from one bit of star gossip to the next, but this time? SUE HIM INTO A FUCKING CRATER, SCARJO.
tumblr won't even let me post this under a community label even though it's literally an homage to Hokusai and i'm literally japanese but ok anyway here's my turnerjones drawing Dream of the Fishman's Malewife (explicit)
Anyone able to give some opinions on this new feature rollout, how it's affecting the site and what to expect?
I'm wary of clicking it -- I don't want it to be another of those opt-out-only type of bullshit settings that I only find out about opting out of through Destiel News 😒
I love Tumblr (usually), and I'm usually down to try new stuff, but damn I don't want to deal with bullshit right now 🤷
