    They could easily make it based on publically available voice data, especially for an actress of her fame. That’s how they were able to create AI versions of Biden’s voice and other famous people.

    That doesn’t mean they did, but your first sentence implies they couldn’t have, when they very easily could if they wanted to.

      That doesn’t make it legal, let alone ethical. As a performer, her likeness, including her voice, is protected by personality rights. There have been multiple lawsuits over soundalikes in the past.

        Oh definitely. If they used her voice in that way, not okay at all. I’m not sure if they have because I keep seeing contradicting arguments, but if they did, 100% agree with you that just because it’s out there, doesn’t mean you can take it and profit on it.
