Comment Resurrecting the Dead (Score 1) 54

I've seen a recent flood of AI slop channels that use the voices of long dead people like Richard Feynman and Christopher Hitchens to present political news (Hitchens) and science shows (Feynman). The voices are so close to the originals that it's easy to confuse historical content with this slop.

Comment Re:Time for regulations (Score 1) 90

Time for a law that says that if the manufacturer removes any functionality from a product that was present when it was purchased or originally offered for purchase, any owner of that product is automatically entitled to a refund of 100% of the original purchase price (if they can provide a receipt) or 100% of the initial manufacturer's recommended price (if no receipt is available) upon demand.

Good luck with that. It'll never happen because the manufacturers of these products typically have an industry association that will lobby Congress to get any proposed bill killed. Congress is beholden to corporate interests and couldn't give a shit about consumers.
