Honestly I really don’t have that big of a problem with this. I understand the auto-AI-hate, but really sounds like everyone, including the voice actors, knew what they were getting into. Meanwhile Siri was developed long before the current AI trend, the VO had no idea what she was recording for, and yet Apple doesn’t get much hate for that. Meanwhile we’re crucifying this small dev studio with a fraction of the resources of Apple.
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but as I understand the VA voice is built upon an underlying base model and it’s very unlikely the base model is ethically sourced.

The bigger issue is the ethics of the training data.
Yeah and in this case it’s entirely ethical, they paid people directly to use their voice for ai training.

If that’s the case, then yeah, that is definitely an issue, however I haven’t seen that reported anywhere.
