AI'ing peoples voices? people are bizzare and dedicated to being a tad mental. If only people put that much dedication into themselves. Usually people using AI like this which is surging are usually into various other criminal behaviors.

We're a superorganism that needs to believe it is separate entities, so that those entities may compete (compute) solutions leading to the goal. The goal for life (of which we are a part and imagine ourselves as wholes) is to spread to other worlds, and these bodies can't do that. We're building AI, robots, and rocket ships. This animal runs on narrative, and so the narrator lives in each of us and constantly churns out self-narrative. It's not proximate truth. It's to keep us doing what we do. Which is essentially be insecure and constantly seek to secure a place in an imaginary hierarchy. Just a few, simple rules add up to AI and rocket ships. It also gives us Nazis and alienation, sexual violence and irrational compulsions. But you at least have your inner narrator to soothe your psyche and sell you socially, lol. We aren't driving the bus.
