    You have to prove that in court. And no he’s not losing work cuz theres no one paying in the first place. Chatgpt didn’t get a job over him. No one said oh we don’t need him to do this voice-over we have ai.

    Also Remember we are not talking about replicating his voice we are talking about training an AI with it. Technically different subjects.

      He has to prove it in court if he wants accurate compensation, but that’s not really on the table atm.

      Did you read the article? I’ll quote the relevant section.

      During his speech at CogX Festival on Thursday, Fry played a clip to the audience of an AI system mimicking his voice to narrate a historical documentary.

      “I said not one word of that—it was a machine. Yes, it shocked me,” he said. “They used my reading of the seven volumes of the Harry Potter books, and from that dataset an AI of my voice was created, and it made that new narration.”

      They are replicating his voice.
