Surely these same criteria determine the success of actors such as Scarlett.
> "This is giving such “female character as written by men” vibes," said one person on X. "Why is she so obsequious and flirty?"
My read: OpenAI very deliberately paid homage to Her by building a working version of Samantha, as a relatable and impactful way to get people to realize "holy crap, what seemed like fanciful scifi suddenly exists." They (very likely) didn't base Sky's voice on Scarlett's, but on some level designed it around the Samantha character. The Court of Xitter Opinion decided that the similarity was close enough to fuel outrage, and OpenAI decided that removing Sky would benefit them more than keeping it.
Outrage about what? Being too obvious about the fact that AI can out-converse and even out-flirt increasingly more humans?
