Ask HN: Would it be ethical (or legal) to make a FOSS AI voice clone of JARVIS?

3•kuberwastaken•12h ago

There's plenty of podcasts and recordings of Paul Bettany voicing JARVIS from Iron Man, just wondering about the implications of this, especially because of how easy it is to make voice clones now. Can even use it as a voice for home assistant.

Just got this random shower thought and posted it here Thoughts?

With any voice I'd document every step taken because somebody might legal challenge it. Answering any legal threat, justified or not, already has a cost.
