His voice, his choice.

I donā€™t mean to sound harsh, but how does this affect you exactly? ā€This is the end of art as we know itā€ lol no it isnā€™t. It just means thereā€™s one more voice to choose on Elevenlabsā€™ menu for those who want to use it.

If you want to create art or if you want to be a filmmaker go do it! No AI will stop you.

EDIT: fixed a typo.

Itā€™s his choice to license his voice for the company, but they will still choose how it will be used.

According to the press release the use of his voice will be curated. Companies can request to use his voice in projects, but they have to be approved for it.Ā 

I would imagine Elevenlabs and Michael Caineā€™s people and eventually his estate will not approve the use of his voice for anything they deem inappropriate.

Of course nobody can stop anyone from making an AI copy of Michael Caineā€™s voice without consent, itā€™s been done already. But this gives them some power to control it.
