I really miss a good Lemmy mobile client though...I was using liftoff which reminded a lot of RIF, but that seems to have been abandoned completely. A lot have ads, so that's a hard pass for me. I'm currently using Thunder, but it's a pretty buggy mess TBH with a lot of UI oddities and bugs.

I think the stoned look is just her default look, googles or not...maybe "resting stoner face" is a thing 🤷♂️
VW and Volvo both make some pretty bad EV's IME, they have a ton of software issues and the entire infotainment system is insanely slow and buggy, which is a big problem when thats the main interface to the car. The interior is also very low quality. But these are probably general issues for them though and not strictly their EVs.
I find that DDG is terrible at finding anything regionally specific, probably because I'm not in the US. I always get a shitload of US hits and usually some German hits if I try to specify location...neither are useful to me.
Anyone is allowed to mimic or copy anyone's style. A style is not something that you can copyright, only the individual works.
Whether it's a voice actor relying on voice acting to not go broke, or a factory worker relying on menial tasks on a production line to not go broke doesn't really matter IMO. But pretty much no one bats an eye at the latter.
Replacing an assembly line worker with a more efficient machine creates jobs as the machines need to be manufactured, serviced, designed, and replaced. Jobs are created in shipping and logistics as factories are able to create more product. Meanwhile the costs of goods go down and benefits the whole economy.
Ah, but we don't yet see the repercussions of this technology. Automation initially removed far more jobs that it created, and the people it replaced mostly couldn't benefit from this change.
I disagree with it on the arbitrary standard that art is sacred.
That kind of opens a completely different discussion on what should be considered "art" or worthwhile of consumption, but I get your point.
I completely agree, but why would there be a skill-component to the ethicalness of impersonation? Is it equally unethical if a person used a voice-changer? It requires the same amount of skill as the AI.
Well, scams are unethical regardless of method used. It would equally unethical if done by a human. So that's not the difference.
And Impersonators are already profiting off of someone else, since they're specifically hired to mimic someone.
The other points you mention all boil down to being ethically wrong because it's easy, which doesn't really make any sense IMO. why is a thing ethically wrong just because it's easy, if it wasn't ethically wrong when it was hard?
Would you consider a person using a voice-changer to mimic ethically wrong?
Sync has ads and isn't open source, so that's a big no thank you from me.
