    Interesting take I can appreciate, but hold on there…

    This community here seems to have largely sided with ScarJo. Which means that they want famous people to receive a rent for lending out their voices

    I dont think that’s what they mean at all. I doubt people care about ScarJo growing her bank account. I think most people who side with ScarJo just dont want Open AI stealing stuff it doesnt own, including people’s voices. Especially if they’re profiting off it.

      That’s a bit of a fine point, but yes. They want famous people to have the power to demand a rent, other concessions, or to refuse a deal entirely. So it’s about more than just rent. It’s the same power that landlords have, but eventually it’s all about the money. If you equate it to stealing, then it’s about the money, no?
