This is getting out of hand rather quickly.
I recently was watching some feelgood videos to up my mood (stuff like Thedodo) and one of the channels I landed on, the voice instantly sounded extremely familiar.
I thought “oh, did The Girl with the Dogs start another channel?” but then I listened more carefully and noticed the typical “generated” fragments in the audio.
They aren’t just copying the voices of celebrities, but also of popular YouTubers.
Wtffff
I use her videos to focus on my tasks. I would rather she would profit from it.
I watch them to spectate the inevitable moment she grooms a bonafide ice bear.
‘Shhhh good boy’ with a bolt cutter in her hands trying to get 2mm of nail of its paw.
We had ‘Snoop Dogg’ call us at work last week and leave a voicemail talking about some class action lawsuit. Wack
Wiggidy wack, or the regular kind?
Please destroy these unethical app! They can be used for so many bad applications: scams, misinformation, identity theft…
Would be hilarious if the picture there were also AI generated (it sure does look like it to me).
I was gonna say - I thought this was about Scarlett. Who’s that in the picture?
At first glance I thought it was Millie Bobby Brown

Scarlett Johansson is taking legal action against an AI app developer for using her name and likeness in an online ad, according to a report from Variety.
As reported by Variety, the 22-second ad showed Johansson behind the scenes while filming Black Widow, where she actually says “What’s up guys?
It’s Scarlett and I want you to come with me.” But then, the ad transitions away from Johansson, while an AI-generated voice meant to sound like the actress states: “It’s not limited to avatars only.
At the very bottom of the ad, Variety reports that Convert Software — the developer behind the app — included text that reads: “Images produced by Lisa AI.
It has nothing to do with this person.” Representatives for Johansson tell Variety that the actress was never a spokesperson for the app and that her attorney, Kevin Yorn, “handled the situation in a legal capacity.”
Neither Yorn nor Convert Software responded to The Verge’s request for comment about the nature of the legal action.
