Doing an impression of someone in private, for fun, with no reasonable possibility of being confused for the original… seems very different to creating voice model outputs with the intent to deceive for financial or political gain.
- diggan 3y agoThis is something I feel like gets forgotten in this AI debates too often. It matters not what you could potentially do with a tool but rather what you actually did with the tool and the consequences of what you did. "Fraud" charges already can capture a lot of these things without additional regulating around what models you can legally train in the first place.
- sandworm101 3y agoThe Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson had an on-stage robot voiced by a Morgan Freeman impersonation, a very good one. That show was created to make money and I am sure that a great many people up that late were occasionally fooled by the impersonation. Saturday night live had Tina Fay impersonate Sarah Palin. She did it so well that it even fooled the real Sarah Palin's media team into using images from SNL as images of the actual candidate. Saturday Night live created this fake for profit and, arguably, for political reasons. https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/fox-news-mixes-up-sarah-palin-with-tina-fey-20110607-1fq30.html https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/fox-news-m...
