Bro, do you really want to ruin tech bros because they would suddenly have to PAY for the data they use? Mark and Jeff would have to sell some of their yachts and Private jets to afford paying fair prices for AI data!

That’s not disturbing; that’s completely fucked up.
If they want to buy data to use for AI, they can pay someone to license their voice for its use. What they’ve done is no different to bootlegging, but it’s worse because it’s personally identifiable data.

Do they pay people for use of their voice when they get a cheaper voice actor in who sounds just like them?

No.
But often those people sue and win. Midler v. Ford, for example.

Frankly I’m horrified that it would go that way and wasn’t aware there were cases like this with sound alike voice actors unless the voice was misleading stated to be of someone it wasn’t.

Yes, the use of the voice was intentionally misleading. That’s why it was decided the way it was.

Are you trying to imply that large corporations should play by the same rules us plebes are held to? How cute.
