So I’m usually one for not restricting use of technology but this is one case where it obviously is an issue. I’ve seen way too many scams going around using AI generated voices to promote them as if the real person was endorsing it. I’ve also made it so only living people can consent to this, with no estate or person on their behalf consenting.


The inspiration for this was surprisingly Twitter.



This only restricts commercial use so that people can do it for personal use.
