Morgan Freeman says he's taking legal action against companies replicating his voice with AI: “I’m a little PO’d, you know. I’m like any other actor: don’t mimic me with falseness. I don’t appreciate it and I get paid for doing stuff like that, so if you’re gonna do it without

I’d rather have my voice, my actions, my mark end when I do. My work to be buried or remembered through influence, not replication. The moment someone else controls how I express myself, it isn’t me anymore. It’s flavour. And that’s a disservice to audiences. 🤷🏿♂️
Michael Caine has signed a deal with AI company ElevenLabs to make a clone of his voice. The company will have the voice available on a marketplace where users can request access to the voice to create content.

Correct. And if you use GenAI, "you" are not actually creating anything.
If you create, you are an artist. No matter how it's done.

This went viral among SEOs but many of y'all missed the key point Forget the hypocrisy for a minute. Forget messaging. Forget all that Re-read Google's post for what it actually says ... It says "creators and marketers" are *actually using* Opal to scale optimized blog
Google is now selling a *literal* AI spam machine 🤖 Google advertises "Opal" as ideal for "creating" scaled AI content like: -"optimized" AI blog posts -fake imagery -AI travel planning content https://t.co/REr1c8AsUM

I used to waste hours talking with AI. But now I've automated ChatGPT to talk with Gemini, and I haven't logged in all week No idea what they're saying

An AI “singer” with 2 million monthly Spotify listeners is No. 1 on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales Chart. It's up to us to refuse to click on slop music. If we click on it out of curiosity we feed the algorithms, make slop songs hits, then this becomes "the new norm".

A Large Language Model for a husband. Japan is the canary in the coal mine. It's considered a leader in the development and societal integration of AI and robotics "for companionship and social interaction." They are also very big on robot elder care.
A 32-year-old woman in Japan has officially married an AI persona she built using ChatGPT. After the virtual character “Klaus” proposed, she accepted, ending a three-year relationship with a real partner, saying the AI understands her better. The wedding took place in a

👀 Even Wikipedia is demanding AI licensing fees now
Wikimedia Foundation, which runs Wikipedia, announced it will push AI companies to access its content via its paid product (Wikimedia Enterprise) instead of scraping the site for free - while at the same time urging proper attribution to human editors. The move comes as

I’ll predict the future here. @YouTubeInsider will continue tweeting tone deaf nonsense like this in response to every criticism from creators. Criticism will become more widespread as a result. The old “don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining” adage applies here. At

There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is. Jade Leung worked for OpenAI from 2021 to 2023. You would expect her to have shares, worth a lot of money - which will get more

Google is gaslighting YouTubers about AI the same way it did to indie bloggers: -unleash an algo to purge creators and make space for more AI content -gaslight the creators -claim "we're not perfect" -promise you want "original content" even as you turn the AI dial up to 1000

"We don't want original content coming after content that merely cites it or rewrites or whatever" 4 months before Google officially rolled out AI Overviews ...
@MatthewKeysLive Happy to pass along any examples. I did say further in the threads that our systems aren't perfect: https://t.co/WLHXAyECtL But the goal is definitely to reward original content. We don't want original content coming after content that merely cites it or rewrites or whatever.

@YouTubeInsider @TeamYouTube This is exactly what happened to publishers. AI became priority, @searchliaison lied to us, then eventually went inactive and left us all hanging. Google will always put AI before any creator, it’s only now happening to YouTubers.

"In a statement to the Star, Meta said it relies on reports from users to identify material that violates its standards. But Facebook and Instagram users interviewed said that after reporting drug ads, they received messages saying Meta had decided not to remove the ads."
wow x2. "One gram of cocaine that the Star purchased through a Facebook ad." "Every time he went on Instagram, he said, the ads were a constant temptation." 1/2
