She's a VA. In the court of public opinion, I'm fine with assuming guilt until proven otherwise. It's only in legal proceedings where the inverse matters.
I don't know of anything controversial with Lindbeck, and my sympathies for her only really extend as far as the death of her lover, fellow actor Billy Kametz, last year.
It should be like music licensing. Copyright Office sets a fee schedule and you can copy other artists' songs as long as you pay.
Since AI merges data together it'd probably have to be a spotify-like deal where everybody's voice that's in the model gets a check so unless you want the overhead of cutting a 1¢ check to a billion people the models will be specific to individuals. Or if you have it speak lines "as Jennifer Hale" then maybe she gets the majority of the money.
I have no doubt in the near future VAs will have copyright over their own voice like a "product."
But it will do nothing to stop non-businesses from making things like this, and any attempt to regulate it will basically destroy three times as much before it saves anything.
VA has always been a tough gig because work is intermittent and there are a lot of people who want to break into it compared to the amount of work. So the biz ends up being about connections and social manipulation, thus all the drama.
I sympathize with the kneejerk reaction to AI. As an artist myself I experienced a bit of an existential crisis related to AI, but I decided to learn the tools and see what they can and can't do and now I'm working on integrating it into my own style seamlessly. Of course, there's also this constant dread of missing the latest update or technique that will change everything. True doomsday is probably on the horizon, but we're not there quite yet.
Every day there's a new person at the start of their own personal creative crisis though, so prepare to see this kind of thing happening for a long time.
With a calmer look at this situation, a VA could benefit from having an AI voice model. Previously, if a producer wanted a character to sing, they'd either be limited to VAs with singing chops or (more commonly in anime) they'd just use a different singer and hoped no one would notice. Now any character can sing or any singer can be a character, which could lubricate the market a little.
The song sounds pretty good, because the AI voice is following a real human's pacing and inflection. So the "acting" part of voice acting is more important than ever, at least for now. Flat delivery narrators are doomed though.
Bit off-topic: Especially in terms of art keep an eye out for SDXL which is supposed to come out this month. 0.9 is already out and could be a gamechanger in terms of what it can do now.
I've kinda given up on drawing mostly myself, I was never really good, but AI allows me to generate stuff I like, even "finish" the art I made. I just cannot do shading, at all it's the thing I hate with a passion. AI makes it easy.
There's some weird obsession with Futaba specifically (probably because she looks and acts like she's 10 so their obvious choice for waifu) and the VA was coworker-hot. Perfect storm really.
The odd part is how many scenes of just you and her exist already, where it almost feels like at any moment you could just change like 5 lines and have it built in already.
Yeah sure it's the 2 inches part not the part about looking childlike...
Also L at 24 years old is nothing like Futaba except for not sitting legs flat in a chair. She's not disheveled or bold, he's not shy or insecure. She's anxious, he's calm.
He's athletic, she's weak. Dry vs juvenile humor.
I guess you could say they're both antisocial, except L is rude whereas Futaba is inept so not really the same there even.

Nothing about her looks childlike, beyond her being slightly shorter due to being a few years younger. We know this because there are actual children you talk to in the game to compare her to.

Which one is this one? The only one I can ever remember is Rial, the slutty one that went after Vic.

Call me shizo but this seems like reverse psy op to bring herself back to spotlight. Do you guys recall anything else about her lately? Me neither.
If it weren't for internet drama I wouldn't know that any VAs even existed.
The only VAs I know are the old guard. Jim Cummings, Rob Paulsen, Maurice LaMarche, etc....
Considering creating these AI things is the current trend, it stands to reason that a Z-list name would be made this many months in.
What follows is basic happenstance.

You'll have Synth like knobs to change the original voice into something not copyrightable

Here's a mirror of the AI song cover: https://files.catbox.moe/yagqcl.webm
Looks like it's being deleted from youtube a lot.

The comments on that video are all in favor of this whore. What the fuck?
There's some weird obsession with Futaba specifically (probably because she looks and acts like she's 10 so their obvious choice for waifu) and the VA was coworker-hot. Perfect storm really.
Or because she acts like a 4chan obsessed gremlin and is female L from Death Note.
Not everything is pedos. Especially when the weirder obsession is with Makoto, the winner of all the popularity polls despite being a plank of wood.
The fact that Sae wasn’t romanceable in P5R is a travesty.
The odd part is how many scenes of just you and her exist already, where it almost feels like at any moment you could just change like 5 lines and have it built in already.
Liking Futaba isn't weird, romancing her is. Unless you're like 12 yourself.
Its weird because of the family angle, not because she is a whole 2 inches shorter than the other girls.
Yeah sure it's the 2 inches part not the part about looking childlike...

Imagine not going for Kawakami, simps are fucking weird and ignore actual best girl.
For me it's the reverse, also great choice.
You cant copyright voices...
Hahahaha. Glorious.
