    The part that the news line wants to point at probably is where it might be planned to use to create ads using podcaster’s voices. I don’t see what’s the issue there is, now the podcasters can be paid to get their voice imitated for an ad they don’t even have to practice the lines for.

      But do they have control over what’s in the ads? I know I wouldn’t want my voice used to promote things without my knowledge

        I am very sure that any company that doesn’t want to risk legal battles would respect your choice. If the usage of your voice is behind a contract, you can definitely ask what it will be about and what will be said with the freedom to refuse it.

        Its the same situation of using without AI another company’s brand to sponsor something else.

      And will they really be paid or provided a choice?

      I fully agree that this is a great use for ai but voices are a part of peoples identity we should be careful before selling it is normalized like taxes

        I think so. Unless they eventually want to end up in a legal battle.
