      I don’t really. It isn’t good these thanga happen, but it’s not like she needs to do anything. She just pays her lawyers a small portion of her fortune and she gets more money. I feel bad for the people who actually need the work getting screwed, which this will hopefully set a precedent for.

    Said AI app must have been capitalising on the fact that Scarlet Johansson voiced an AI in a movie before. Lol.

    1. I’d be amazed if it was actually her and not her lawyer/agency

    2. Yeah fuck em, shit like this without consent should be (/is?) illegal
