Voice Equivalent to "This Person Does Not Exist"?


The website https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ has been mentioned a few times on HN; is there a voice equivalent to this concept?

The question came to mind when we were evaluating an AI multilingual, voice-over service and someone asked about indemnification from copyright claims (eg: if this service used a voice that sounded too much like Scarlet Johanssen, for example). Surely there are purely AI voices out there immune from this, possibly even voices that are mashups of real and artificial voices that "sound real" but don't voice-print back to a real human because it's a computer mash-up... or is this a novel concept?

A big part of the ScarJo conversation is that OpenAI attempted to hire her on more than one occasion. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but it has more to do with the context rather than the fact that it sounds like her. I listened to the released videos on twitter and, personally, I could imagine the voice not being ScarJo.
