@georgetakei ghoulish. If stuff like this isn’t stopped, every science show will be narrated by Albert Einstein, every news documentary by Walter Cronkite, every entertainment or racy documentary by Marilyn Monroe, etc etc.
There's surely some sneaker-wearing NBC executive turd in an Italian suit worth enough to feed thousands of red-state schoolkids for a summer, dreaming of a world where they ensured Bob Costas was never even born, all for the glory of disgustingly expensive digital non-reactions.
@georgetakei Will you allow your voice to be licensed for use when you're no longer able to speak?
I don't have a problem with voices being used provided 1) consent was obtained in advance, and 2) the audience is clearly advised the voice is synthesized and not human, and 3) secondary and tertiary use of synthesize voices are not permitted.
Seriously, I don't know what else to say. It's not him.
Would we consider doing this the old-fashioned way, with an actor in full lookalike makeup etc.? No, we wouldn't; if you suggested it everyone would laugh you out of the room & rightfully so.
So, why do it with an AI?
I don't even know how to begin asking what people think this accomplishes, what value it creates, because it's so boundlessly, head-explodingly stupid & pointless.
