I think, at some point, we’ll probably need legislation mandating consent for this kind of thing, at least for any non-trivial purposes. I’d wager that most people find this generally uncomfortable and would support a general concept of a right to one’s own identity.
It gets tricky, though. For example, what if the AI was trained on recordings of voice impersonators (with consent)? We may be limited to banning companies from promoting the AI voices as being specific people…
Years ago, Moes Southwest had a problem like this. Their decor featured images of artists, but it turned out they did not have the rights and were sued. So they ran a celebrity look alike competition and used photos of the winning look alikes instead.

Do you have a reference for the 5secs of audio? And what would the quality of the ai be? I mean it would have to infer a lot of training just given 5 seconds of audio.

And re: remixing:
How long until enough people put recordings of their voices out with a CC0 license that you can legally digitally remix any voice you want?

I’m imagining this in “Little Mermaid” style.
We need to do this for Attenborough or nature documentaries will never be as good.
Theres already an AI Attenborough that narrates Warhammer 40k lore. It’s brilliant
