    The ai is trained on recordings of his voice which they have not secured the rights to though. You can’t simply use any data you find on the street and use it professionally in any field.

    An impression is a very different context. You’re vastly overestimating the independence of an AI model to equate it to human performance or impersonators.

      I kind of think you should be able to though, copyright laws are already much too strong and outdated with current technology, instead of strengthening them further I think we need to go back to first principles and consider why we need to have permission to record and relay what we see and hear.

      What rights are they securing? Copyright prevents distributing copies. It doesn’t prevent listening to recordings.

        But isn’t Attenborough’s narration dependent on much more than what you can get from a few seconds? I imagine that you would also want to get the same narration style, e.g. how his voice/intonation relates to what’s happening etc.
