So, the multi-speaker neural TTS models have gotten eerily good; the few-sample/voice-cloning NNs are also now credible with a few minutes of samples. Has anyone told the various media fandoms they could get their favorite characters' voices on tap with some elbow-grease...?

(I'll admit a little bit of sympathy for their arguments here. The reason folks would want this is to have the convincing simulcrum of Mickey Mouse say things that Mickey has never said, and Disney will be *extraordinarily* interested in having Mickey continuing to not say things

And there's a pretty interesting argument on e.g. what the difference of an impersonator doing an impression of a character is as an artistic work versus a (indistinguishable?) simulacrum of the character is. Is that *even more* transformative, or less so? Is it *too* good?
