    “You can’t own your own voice”

    Talking out of your dystopian ass, aren’t you?

      Ok, so how would that work? What does happen if you happen to sound like someone else? Who gets the rights to that voice?

        So you’d be ok with someone taking your fedia.io account and just posting whatever they wanted? I mean it’s just an account it’s not you is it?

          Again, I’m asking what, in a perfect world where this kind of protection existed, would happen if two people had similar (or identical) sounding voices? Which entity would gain the legal rights and protections?

            Impersonating exists, the difference there is if someone was impersonates you and says something defamatory, you can sue that person, what this article is suggesting is if I made an AI model of your voice I am not liable for anything I make that voice say

              I never argued that you can’t sue for implied endorsement or defamation. That is illegal. What isn’t legal is owning a voice outright. You’re conflating the two.

              There is no impersonation so good that it is totally indistinguishable from the person being impersonated when seriously analyzed.
