I completely understand why some people might want to use something like 11labs to preserve the voice of a deceased loved-one for their own use, but did anyone check with Tunehead's family, for instance, to find out if they're OK with his being reduced to a voice print for mass consumption? That struck me as disturbing in a way I'm having trouble defining and I knew him for years. And it demonstrates why we need to be having robust ethics discussions around this kind of technology.
