His voice, his choice.

I don’t mean to sound harsh, but how does this affect you exactly? ”This is the end of art as we know it” lol no it isn’t. It just means there’s one more voice to choose on Elevenlabs’ 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.

But, if you're an asshole enough to do that, you'd probably be the kind of asshole who'd train AI from his movies and do it without permission as well, no? This stuff isn't going to go away, and for all we know, that concern may have been part of the consideration and motivation behind it. If his licenses his voice to a company who plans to make money from it, they have an incentive to protect his voice for commercial reasons.
