I'd be amazed if it was actually her and not her lawyer/agency
Yeah fuck em, shit like this without consent should be (/is?) illegal
The ad itself makes it clear it’s impersonating her.
I do not and good luck finding it. Searches are nothing but articles or video news broadcasts about the ad but I haven’t been able to find the actual ad.
There’s no way they’d have a case unless the voice impersonated her, so I’d be shocked if the commercial didn’t present it as her, but I couldn’t find a copy of it online either. I did hear the fake Tom Hanks ad a while back, and it definitely claimed to be him, so this sort of throng has happened before. Also, there would be no point in using her voice unless the audience thinks it’s her.
Sure, in that hypothetical, there would be no case, but that would make her legal team absolute idiots for thinking that simple mimicry would be a case they could win. And there is absolutely no reason to think they are idiots since Johansson doesn’t have a history of frivolous lawsuits or losing her legal battles. She went up against hackers stealing her nudes as well as Disney and won both cases, so I’m going to give her legal team the benefit of the doubt here.
Yeah, I’m absolutely against the whole “using published works to train AI violates copyright” trend. It doesn’t make sense as long as the AI is trained not to violate copyright with its results. People are trained on published works all the time, and they aren’t punished until they violate the law with the work that they produce. I think the same rules should apply to AI.
