They stole my voice with AIElecrow—an electronics company that makes Pi and ESP accessories—used an AI voice for multiple tutorial series which sounds _almost exactly_ like me.I never consented to have my voice used to promote Elecrow's products.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMofZIT9FcQ

Update: The CEO of Elecrow responded to my email about the unauthorized voice cloning early this morning.I will be posting a video with more details and my reaction either tomorrow or Wednesday, but here's a snippet of the email.

@geerlingguy Honestly, that was a much better response than I was expecting.

@geerlingguy It sounds like they did the right thing here. I’m happy they realized they were in the wrong.

@geerlingguy Well, that seems like a decent response - if they do everything they say they will.

@geerlingguy Wow. Now that's a response and a half. I'd have put money on no reply or a "we can do what we want" comment. But this. Wow again. Almost makes me want to go and buy something from them!Just a shame I'm surprised by a company doing the right thing.
