What sort of damages can Scarlett Johansson expect to get if OpenAI launches with the Sky voice for a short while, then pulls it quickly after the backlash (like they did)?

Are punitive damages commonplace for such scenarios?

I’m sure someone can do some type of math about her general pay rate per performance minute then multiply it by the millions of hours Sky has been heard using her voice. I think that number would likely be quite high.

Any damages are probably going to be way cheaper than the cost of an equivalent publicity campaign.

Bad PR is also PR.
