A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Yeah, except royalties in music are almost always a joke. Those artists are going to make much less off their AI voice than if they actually appeared in studio and the end product is going to be worse. If AI cost the same or more, there would be no market for it. Relevant story about Hollywood actors who sold AI likenesses.
Even if it was actually "ethically trained", the end result is still horrible.
Also, paying to have an AI Snoop Dogg in your song is the lamest shit I've ever heard.
"It's shit" is different from "it's unethical".
If people want to pay for shit, let them pay for shit. They can't make me listen.
Someone saying whatever heinous shit they want using your voice seems a bit unethical, as does getting paid pennies for it.
If you've sold them your voice under the condition they can do whatever they like with it, I don't see it being unethical. You walked into it informed (presumably) and accepted the "pennies" (presumably). It may be stupid. What comes out may be shit. But it's not "unethical".
If they stole your voice, or if you had content limits that they breached, or if they're paying you less than you agreed for, then yes, it's unethical.
