Sir David Attenborough says AI clone of his voice is 'disturbing' | BBC News

[@powerbreed]

100% though I doubt people will stick to that. And this is just the beginning, AI will get better in the sense that it will become even more life like and impossible to tell the difference of images, video and sound. I mean people could frame others for crimes they did not commit or confuse the crap out of the public with videos of people saying/ doing things. I don’t like it one bit.

Why do you care as long as it is not used for nefarious purposes? Voice actors do this all time with all kinds of celebrites, but now because it is AI it is suddenly wrong? The tech is out there and I can train my own models on my old consumer pc. Do you think people who actually uses this tech for lets say for example scamming would give a crap about legality? What matters is how it is used. No one is hurt if I use his voice to for example narrate a book for personal usage or if it is done for entertainment while being open about it being AI. The tech is out there and you saying "should not be allowed" wont take that away.

[@croftmire]

Very myopic way of looking at it: “it’s acceptable as long as no one gets hurt!” As if that’s the point. How would you like your voice-or, indeed, any part of you that makes you unique-used by others without your knowledge or consent, regardless of intent?

[@carpark1414]

I agree but there is an issue with that "solution". Murder is illegal, yet people get murdered. Drugs / narcotics are illegal, yet people do drugs. The problem here is: Making something illegal or not allowed doesn't stop it from happening. Bad people are going to do bad things and cover their tracks / use anonymity etc. We are all being pushed into this new world and we got to figure out the smart play on how to deal with this stuff. Just reverting to the ban hammer isn't a deterrent for certain people out there.

[@bUklMusic]

A.I. in art is a scary and depressing prospect. Human life, suffering and expertise in the techniques of art will all be deemed redundant. Tapping a few buttons and waiting for a machine to produce something is not art. Art is unique and special because it reflects many years of an individual human’s experience. It’s not ‘content’ to be churned out on a conveyor belt. Really hope the kids of today think about this and reject conveyor belt art, from Spotify streams to AI music. Support real artists and musicians by buying their physical products on platforms like bandcamp.

[@JugglinJellyTake01]

Knowingly using someone's voice should be a criminal offence. While there might not be copyright on voices allowing disinformation, marketing and PR to attribute information to someone also attacks their character. These AI firms are complicit in allowing this and since the aim is to deceive people on the authenticity of the voice then a person cannot be reasonably expected to know it is AI generated. They are selling or allowing people to use voices to deceive and without permission. I hope they are held accountable.

[@tricky778]

Before AI they could hire someone that sounds similar, imagine if that person couldn't speak because they were so similar to a famous person.

Everything in ChatGPT right now is in no way "intelligent". It's a glorified pattern-repeater. It's a glorified Markov chain. All it does is read text, use statistics to build a set of patterns, then FOLLOW THOSE PATTERNS. Heck, even neural networks before that were nothing but "here's an equation that says 'everything left of the line is a no, everything right of the line is a yes', now we keep tweaking that line until it matches the left-right division correctly". We used to try building AI systems in languages like Prolog, where statements define objects and relationships between objects, or states. But we couldn't encode enough into them that a first-grade child could already learn. All GPT does now is, as I said, the above. It's a glorified pattern repeater. Digital AI doesn't drive itself, doesn't spontaneously say "I don't know much about this, let me go learn about it" and go learning. It's not intelligent. It doesn't have a will. It's artificial as all hell. It is no force. Then, you saying "we are ai" after you just said "Even calling the intelligence artificial is disgusting" suggests to me you're just trolling out here.

AI Voice is just a stone on the tip of an iceberg. Although 'stealing' an actor's voice is unacceptable, I am more concerned about AI's future, which seems ominous and a significant threat to humanity. AI has a weak point somewhere. Everything has a weak point, and scientists must find it, probably by inserting AI viruses to destroy it.

With the coming and growing of AI based applications, we all need to patent our voices.

It is quite scary. I looked at a video where one person was de-monetized for using his voice in his own video because it had a copy right.

There needs to be laws and rules governing AI in the same way we did with copyright.

Of course they try and do David Attenborough I predicted that would happen years. There should be a contract setup on his voice agreed by the man himself.

I think it's a good move but we need to put up a note saying this is not the real person saying it. In this way it will protect the person and also protect the listeners too.
