In this case the AI voices are reading the exact copyrighted material so the original author or rights holder must be contacted to secure the necessary rights and licensing agreements. There is no free use argument.

Now, if the voices have been trained on copy protected sources to create a likenesses (e.g. Scarlet Johansson) then there could be a lawsuit.

Not sure what you are trying to say here. AI itself is an equation.

AI voices are not trained on books.

I fed it a detail and it suddenly remembered.

They must have programmed chatgpt to deny that it has read copyright works.

Deepseek had no such qualms. It couldn’t give an exact quote but it did give what it called an approximation.

Censoring communications is 1984, not Idiocracy.

You can prise my windscreen from my cold dead hands.
