Comment on Actor Stephen Fry says his voice was stolen from the Harry Potter audiobooks and replicated by AI—and warns this is just the beginning

Honestly, while these growing pains are unfair, I just have no sympathy for rich actors in this. I’d love to get rid of the ridiculous overpaid class of celebrities and operate with artificial stars. I do not enjoy celebrity culture or the elevation of voices and opinions purely on the basis of connections and/or acting talent.

That’s fine. Totally agree, but this (AI actors/voices etc) would just replace the celebrities with just a smaller, richer, more controlling group of capitalist fucks.

    maybe you didn‘t consider all implications of this statement. To make more clear what I meant: maybe regulating capitalism never was the answer, maybe it is time to get rid of the whole shit show.

Where’s the line for you? Stephen Fry is far from your typical “spoiled rich celebrity actor”. He’s relatively famous, very successful, but like, what dollar threshold destroys your sympathy for people having their careers undermined?
