Gregory's ServerThey stole my voice with AI
Elecrow—an electronics company that makes Pi and ESP accessories—used an AI voice for multiple tutorial series which sounds _almost exactly_ like me.
I never consented to have my voice used to promote Elecrow's products.

 @geerlingguy I’m pretty sure this is the YouTuber equivalent of a Weird Al parody—a sign you’ve made it—except there’s nothing to laugh about. Bummed you’re dealing with this. @geerlingguy I wrote this story in 2011. http://www.gregstolze.com/fiction_library/EmilySpeaks.PDF Update: The CEO of Elecrow responded to my email about the unauthorized voice cloning early this morning. I will be posting a video with more details and my reaction either tomorrow or Wednesday, but here's a snippet of the email. |
@geerlingguy I blame rsj - he sounds just like you and probably sold the rights for a free sawzall
