ChatGPT is way better than to need stupid ripoffs than this

Sam should be ashamed to have ever thought of ripping off anyone's voice, let alone done it and rolled it out.

They are building some potentially world-changing technology, but cannot rise above being basically creepy rip-off artists. Einstein was right about requiring improved ethics to meet new challenges, and also that we are not meeting that requirement.

sad to see

It's part and parcel of the LLM field's usual disdain for any property rights that might belong to other people. What they did here is not categorically different than scraping every author and visual artist on the internet - but in this instance they've gone and brazenly "copied" (read: stolen) from one of the few folks with more media clout than they themselves have.

Of course it’s not. All of ChatGPT is a ripoff. That’s what training data (which they did not license) is.
