How do you implement voice cloning prevention? Human voices aren't that unique. Also, AI voice cloning isn't perfect. So... At what threshold is a voice considered, "cloned" from a legal perspective?
I mean, people couldn't tell the difference between Scarlet Johansson and OpenAI's "Sky" voice which was not cloned.
Duuuuuuuddeeeeee lol... come on now.
From the perspective of human perception, people's voices are only unique enough to about one in a few thousand. There's a few outliers with much more unique voices but believe it or not, there's a lot of people walking around on this earth that sound just like Morgan Freeman, James Earl Jones, and other voices people think are super unique.
I view an anti-cloning law as too risky: It sounds exactly like the type of thing that would prevent Grandma from cloning her own voice before going down for surgery because it just so happens to sound a lot like a famous person.
