Thank you for your manifesto. Please be assured that it will be reviewed properly, as befits such missives. Im glad that you can reconcile this outrage at voice AIs with your choice of other such tools, such as text generators; the consistency of approach is much needed in the modern world, where humans are suddenly leveraging computerised tools to assist in their practices.

I use an online text generator to create all the names for utilities & tasks.

Yea, but someone who masturbate, has permission from himself.
I doubt that IA corps have permission from so many vocalists to copy their voices.

i'm just joking
my religion is
slacker
and ethics sometimes goes out the window
i mean if you are not hurting anyone...
what's the big deal?
make your song by any means till you find out it's actually illegal?

Many Ai tools are promoting & normalising unethical behaviour & practices.

Hmmm...that's funny, because:

Many politicians are promoting & normalising unethical behaviour and practices.

May be the one area in which trickle-down theory actually applies.

yeah, donald trump keeps wearing hairpiece
he maybe thinks he's fooling everyone?
so unethical, that guy

[harryupbabble]

and pamela anderson
she's some kind of politician for pets
but no one knows how cruel she may have been...

How many artists would happily use samples of older tracks without any credit if they could get away with it ?

I'm not saying that tech giants (hint: it's not just the giants, it's the 'entrepreneurial' spirit) are not doing 'unethical' things - they do every day, and people just don't see it as obviously, but what you're looking at is human nature and the lure of 'free'.

It seems it's unethical to steal from the hidden folk, but less so as the target becomes more famous - but then you just have to worry about 'law' rather than ethics, right ?

Yes, using anything from anyone without consent is unethical. AI is absolutely bringing this to the forefront. However, it's not new - it's just easier and more visible.

yes, and the unsolicited PM was just a craven attempt at hidden abuse. 'waaaaah, how dare you comment on my post and not appreciate my cleverness. You have too many posts, Im great, dont bother replying Im not going to read your PM'

Please note that by sending me any further unsolicited PMs, you will be agreeing that those PMs you send will be considered suitable for public reposting.

(And now back to the 'AI is teh suck' wailing and gnashing of teeth)
