Loved it, I thought that was quite hilarious! I can see how people get a little upset about it though, but in my mind this kind of content is just unavoidable.

I myself have been playing a lot with this kind of tech lately by creating realistic clones (voice + videos) of YouTubers and tiktokers. I think it has potential to go viral quite easily. I never published any of those though, because of ethical concerns. Just a question of time before other creators do this at scale though.

I almost did that with cloning real TV newscasters from bbc / fox / cnn, etc... but decided not to. But I did create a 100% "fake" journalist for an app that lets you create breaking news on the fly [1]. The result is still a little rough, obviously, but I can already tell how in just a few months it'll be impossible to distinguish a clone from a real person.
