Infamous? I never heard of This until now. What's so infamous about this video?
I hadn't heard of this either, but apparently the short version is:
Guy makes fan video for fun, dubbing several voices with AI
Video blows up a lot more than he expected
Daphe's old voice actress freaks out on Twitter and starts working to get the guy functionally blacklisted cause he stole her voice or something with the AI
The Anti-AI hollywood crowd gets involved.
longer version here
Daphne's original voice actress has been dead for years. I think it was "Daphne's" VA from "Velma" who lost her shit.
No, Grey Delisle has nothing to do with THAT garbage heap. She's the current Daphne in the various Mystery Inc series (which "Velma" most certainly is not a part of).
Voice actors tried to raise a lynch mob after even fan projects proved they are eminently replaceable.
It utilises AI voice tech to replicate VAs of the original cast. Some VAs threw a shitfit over it and one, Grey DeLisle, wants to make sure the creator is blacklisted as a result.
Here's the previous thread (that I know of) that was posted in this sub with a little more info.
