Comment on One Bad Mother? In Defense of Star Trek's Lwaxana Troi
Dagwood222@lemm.ee 3 days agoIt is an interesting point. I once heard an anecdote that Jimmy Cagney hated being impersonated in Warner’s cartoons, but Bogart got a kick out of it. The same with Weird Al, some folks love getting parodied and others refuse to have him touch their songs.
Personally, I think it would be pretty sweet if some spaceship three hundred years from now was using her voice .

I view satirical voice impression and speech synthesis of a real person as two different ethical issues entirely.
I find impressions intended for satire fall within the real of the first amendment, while the latter can be an unwelcome appropriation of identity when done wrong.

Technology changes everything. Thee were “Tijuana bibles” showing famous folks for years; Deep Fake tech changes that entirely.
It’s more than you and I can settle. Good night.
