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.

@Hika right? Of course this is more entitled techbro BS. You or I did this at even the smallest scale and we’d get a “friendly” visit from the FBI.
