That's big time scary.

In the (near) future everyone may need their "voice rights" the same way Youtube videos need copyrights.  If YouTube can detect copyrighted video material owned by someone, surely there is a way to detect voices "owned" by someone.  And if you try to use or upload voices you don't own, your content will be instantly removed, the same way copyrighted videos are removed on YouTube.  The problem is how do we do this for the voices of 8 billion people on Earth without some Big Brotherly practices?

Yeah, detecting them automatically is going to be a challenge. Once in a while, I find someone who's uploaded my videos to their YouTube channel, which I normally don't mind. If people are sharing my free videos, that's more publicity for me. However, I catch people once in a while who not only upload my videos but try to monetize them, and that's a big no-no. I have to do a takedown request for each one of those, which can be quite time-consuming.

I can imagine that something similar could be done for people using AI-generated cloned voices. If I remember correctly, I read something recently about Scarlett Johansson being the voice of an OpenAI bot for a while. They, of course, denied it, but who knows.

Where do you draw the line between an anti-cloned voice and a really good voice actor who can do celebrity voices? Morgan Freeman. Arnold Schwarzenegger (complete with the video DeepFake).

We live in interesting times.
