I’ve been in this business, writing software professionally, since I started my first software business at 16 in high school on an Apple ][. That’s 45 fucking years. It would never occur to me to steal other people’s code, let alone their likenesses, voices, or art.

Just eject these thieving “AI” companies into the sun. These people, and the VCs that fund them, are a cancer on the software industry.

Voice Actors Sue Company Whose AI Sounds Like Them

Two voice actors say an A.I. company created clones of their voices without their permission. Now they’re suing. The company denies it did anything wrong.

It's quite late to implement it now. But a general ban on AI in public spaces wouldn't be a bad idea. Just against misleading the public.
It is creepy that even public broadcasters in the Netherlands are now experimenting with news topics presented by fake AI newsreaders.
