"unauthorized" is a weasel word because it implies that it should be necessary for the developer to ask David Attenborough for authorization to create a clone of his voice using AI.
By this metric I should not ask for permission to train a model on your liking and share with your wife generated pictures of you having sex with other women
Taking this a step further, and being facetious, I'm thinking of starting my own network! It's all me, all the time. Sometimes I'll be a nature show, sometimes I'll be in a spy movie, sometimes I'll have the guys from Mystery Science Theater 3000 cracking jokes at how dumb I am. Can't be that hard to do what this guy did, only in twenty-four different genres, one for each hour of the day. Turn it on, let it play.
I think it would be fun. Having said that, can you imagine somebody with mental illness, perhaps that makes them paranoid, having an AI interweave them into a spy thriller or murder mystery?
People already took computers too seriously before ChatGPT and the like. Having some official-sounding narrator, somebody you know from previous appearances, helping you out in your fantasy life?
As much fun as this is going to be, it also bothers me quite a bit.

If this could be created without using recordings of his voice to train the model, then sure. I agree a "sound-alike" like that is fair game.
But since actual recordings of his voice were used in order to train the model to recreate the sound, inflection, cadence, etc...it should be required to get authorization to use those recordings for this purpose.
These things have suddenly going mainstream and lot of ppl (including me) are having existential question: what does it mean to be a human? PS: It will be fun to do in "damn nature u r scary" voice & style [1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vlFHlSm1r4

Tell that to all the ppl who contributed to Co-Pilots training set..

Is not a weasel word. There is nothing unambiguous about it.
> it implies that it should be necessary for the developer to ask David Attenborough for authorization
Yes. It does. Now you might disagree with that, but it perfectly unambiguously means that.
Right now this requires API tokens and being dependent on third party companies that will cut off your access if they decide they don’t like you. The moment these models can run locally on the kind of cheap hardware that phone scam operations have will be the real Pandora’s box moment. (I give it 3-5 years or so)
