We’ve developed an AI voice bot app that can mimic the voices of celebrities like Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Alex Jones, Elon Musk, and Scarlett Johansson. While we’re proud of the technology, we’re also concerned about the potential ethical issues when users have conversations that might trick real people and lead to controversial outcomes.
For example, a user recently shared their experience using the app to imitate Joe Biden in a conversation with a friend. The AI-generated “Biden” endorsed a bizarre policy, like replacing the U.S. national anthem with the “Baby Shark” song. The friend was genuinely convinced they were speaking with the President, and in shock, they shared the call on social media. The story quickly gained traction, leading to heated debates and confusion among people who didn’t realize it was an AI-generated conversation.
These incidents have raised questions about the ethical implications of using such an accurate AI technology to impersonate living people, particularly when it can deceive others and potentially create controversial situations.
As AI enthusiasts, we’re eager to hear your thoughts on the ethical boundaries of AI-generated celebrity voices. We want to ensure that we’re using this technology responsibly and respecting the boundaries of both users and the individuals being impersonated.
TL;DR: Our AI voice bot app can convincingly mimic celebrity voices and has caused controversial situations by fooling real people in conversations, raising ethical concerns.
What are your opinions on the ethical limits of AI when it comes to impersonating living people and potentially creating controversial situations?
