AI Voice Cloning: Not Quite Open Source, Folks

[alimiracle]

Dear Fellow Humans (and AI lurking in the shadows),
I've been pondering this brave new world of AI voice cloning, and I must 
say, the idea that our voices could somehow become “free and open 
source” is truly... groundbreaking. Because, you know, when I think of 
my voice, I definitely think of it as software, just waiting for someone 
to fork it on GitHub.
What’s next? Licensing our laughter under the GNU General Public 
License? A Creative Commons Attribution for our morning groans? “Feel 
free to remix, reuse, and redistribute my sneeze—just give proper credit.”
Let me make one thing clear: our voices are not lines of code. They’re 
not some modular system you can tweak and package for mass distribution. 
They carry our identity, our emotion, and yes, sometimes our frustration 
when someone decides it’s their business to turn us into a soundboard.
AI, you clever little mimic, you’re getting good, I’ll admit. But let’s 
not pretend that cloning someone's voice is just a fun programming 
exercise. Because the last thing we need is someone walking around with 
our voice, making calls or reading poetry, without the soul that makes 
it ours.
So, to those who dream of a world where every voice is a software 
library, I say this: leave our voices out of your repositories. Some 
things are meant to remain uniquely, unapologetically human.
Sincerely,
[Your Voice, Not an API]
