They frame it as though it’s for user content, more likely it’s to train AI, but in fact it gives them the right to do almost anything they want - up to (but not including) stealing the content outright.

    Voices can’t be protected by copyright but there may be a legal avenue for someone like Morgan Freeman to sue if a voice is clearly a knock off of his voice AND he can make a case for it damaging his “brand”.

    I’d be impressed though if AI can write a novel without directly referencing a fictional person, place or thing that someone else made up. Stable Diffusion, for example, can make a picture of dog wearing a tracksuit running on the side of a skyscraper made of pudding in the middle of a noodle hurricane. But it didn’t invent any of those individual components, it just combined them.

      This is why we need laws for likeness rights. Every person should own exclusive commercial rights to their own face, voice, etc.

        Jesus, that’s dark.

          “Now I want that of the dog framed and hanging in my house.”

          Are ya sure your brain didn’t skip a few more words?

      What about when a talented comedian speaks in the voice of someone else? Should we just write a law that humans are allowed to do it, but machines aren’t?

          I don’t. What exactly is the difference between me making a remix of someone’s voice using software I don’t understand and me telling software I don’t understand to doing that slightly more?
