I had to phone my bank, which is one of the bigger players in the UK high street market, a couple of days ago. They're still encouraging me to enroll in their idiotic "my voice is my password" programme. At this stage in the evolution of AI, that feels simply negligent.

#12Welcome to the new era of fakes and scams beyond our wildest imagination !
Elevenlabs has been around for a while now. Genie has been out of the bottle for a bit, and the sooner the notion that anything digital can be easily faked seeps into the wider consciousness the better. Trust nothing.

It is open, just not by your definition. You can view, use and modify the code to your hearts content. Sounds pretty open to me!
Open for business!
No wait…

#16That watermark detection rights at the end is real sus
What exactly are you talking about? The paper doesn't mention any watermark at all, as far as I can see/search.
The readme on the linked github reads: “MyShell reserves the ability to detect whether an audio is generated by OpenVoice, no matter whether the watermark is added or not.”

You can’t. Scammers who don’t care about noncommercial licenses sure can!

It can both be true that people need to adapt/“trust nothing,” and that this is bad.

Fidelity Investments just did something even worse ~a week ago - It asked me to reply to a few questions, then announced that I'd just been enrolled in it's voice identification program (or whatever they call it).
Now I've got Just Another Item on my ToDo list, to get that undone. Gawd, does every company promote it's stupidest people to management?
