Meanwhile he has been doing TV ads for "AI" for years

He keeps getting older, but the frontier models stay the same age.

It feels like one's likeness should be automatically assumed to be trademarked (or be trademarked by right through legislation)

So nobody raised in a similar culture developing effectively an indistinguishable voice or happens to look the same can be allowed to live/work?

I'm mixed on this... there are always other actual people that will have matching voices or looks. Are they now effectively illegal for looking/sounding like they do?

IIRC, works have been sued for actors looking/sounding like other voice actors.

As with most things around AI, the problem is the scale. We are not ready for the amount of cease & desist court cases around individual likeness etc that are going to start flooding and overwhelming the system.

I think the parody law would make this moot. Unless he's made to be selling something, I'd imagine him being a public figure would make the trademarks meaningless.

I keep thinking that I want to see a "parody" of "James Bond (007)" called "Chad Bond (00G)" that is effectively classic bond style, but American and not any more campy than the earlier bond films were. Just actually being a classic Bond style, instead of a "for modern audiences" reshaping.
