> thanks for a great question. Candidly speaking, I’d say we’re taking a “move fast” and “seek forgiveness later” approach. The plan is a) to try to apologize and get a license if there are demands and if that doesn’t work b) create new synthetic voices that are not of real people.
This infuriates me to no end. People with that kind of mentality fuck up the entire startup ecosystem for everyone.
Apparently the creator has been down this road before and got told off. Apparently a firm "stop using people's voices without permission" was not sufficient.
So that makes this intentional and the excuse of "I didn't know any better" no longer plays.
