Why is it that when a human impersonator mimics a voice, it's just fine. But when a computer does it, it becomes a huge ethical issue?
I'm not saying they're not wrong here, I just find it interesting that using an organic method of recreation (an impersonator) is considered fine, but an electronic method (the "AI" in this case) is considered ethically wrong.
Just like musicians, voice actors have spent years working on their style and range, making their particular flavor unique.
AI is essentially stealing their entire product for cheap.
AI will eventually be able to convincingly clone music styles and voices. You don't think NIN would be justified in being upset when AI will be able to put out entire fake albums in their style and voice?
Anyone is allowed to mimic or copy anyone's style. A style is not something that you can copyright, only the individual works.
Correct, but this can also backfire as they are just proving to the world that they don’t have what it takes to be original.
