Echoes of when Scarlett Johansson accused OpenAI of stealing her voice. That time it was impossible to tell who was in the right - there was no available recording of OpenAI's supposed Scarlett clone - they had pulled it immediately for fear of bad PR.

Then came the completely nonsensical HN threads with people arguing about something they hadn't heard.

Maybe don't redo that whole thing? Could we at least make sure to secure some examples of A and B, this time?
