Hi, Elliot.

Nice track - vocals and backing. Well done!

I was curious, so I read through the Lalals website to see how they got permission for the voices. They say "Our AI vocals are only trained with legal material, but we do not take any liability for the produced samples."

I assume "trained with legal material" means they bought the CDs the voices are taken from. So they apparently consider any use of those voices to be legal.

However, the Elvis Act will become law starting July 1. The ELVIS Act "prohibits people from using AI to mimic a person’s voice without their permission, and violations can be criminally enforced as Class A misdemeanors. The law also authorizes civil action against any person who violates this law."

I don't know if that law only applies to Tennessee, but I suspect that's going to make a dent in services like this in the near future.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
