Comment on Eleven Labs Debuts "Iconic Marketplace" Feat Michael Caine, Judy Garland, Others

This is kind of disgusting. I hope they're pushed out of business for this gross violation of the dead. The families and estates of the dead should also be ashamed for trying to ride that corpse for a few more dollars.

I'm kinda weirded out that there are sibling comments that think this is okay.

I, and presumably my genes, would be very pleased if my descendants could benefit more from my work today.

I’ll bet these are licensing deals with the families and estates of the actors. These synthetic voices will provide ongoing income, long after the actors are gone.

I understand that James Earl Jones licensed his voice to Disney for future portrayals of Darth Vader.
