Spotify is going to clone podcasters’ voices — and translate them to other languages

A partnership with OpenAI will let podcasters replicate their voices to automatically create foreign-language versions of their shows.

I have a strong feeling the terms of usage for this opt-in will include something along the lines of "we can use your voice for our future projects" and then in a few years they will just create podcasts using podcasters' voices without their true consent and make a ton off their backs while increasing their competition.

That is of course the danger.. as it is it's pretty benign, allowing more people to consume podcasts in their own language. But the terms need to be clear.

And I am certain the terms will be clear and concise, definitely less than 50 pages and no vague and contradicting statements all over.
