"I was, like, completely freaked out, Greene told The Washington Post on Sunday. It's this eerie moment where you feel like you're listening to yourself. He said colleagues pointed out the likeness in emails and texts. The lawsuit, filed last month in Santa Clara County, California, alleges Google violated his rights by creating a product that mimics his voice without payment or permission."
"Greene says the resemblance captures his cadence, intonation, and even verbal tics he had worked to refine over decades. My voice is, like, the most important part of who I am, Greene said. Responding to the newspaper, Google denied Greene's claim. These allegations are baseless, spokesperson Jose Castaneda said. The sound of the male voice in NotebookLM's Audio Overviews is based on a paid professional actor Google hired."
David Greene, a public radio host, has filed a lawsuit in Santa Clara County, California, alleging Google created an AI voice that mimics his voice without consent or payment. Greene says the NotebookLM male narrator captures his cadence, intonation, and verbal tics refined over decades and that colleagues noticed the likeness. He described hearing the voice as a freaked out, eerie sensation of listening to himself and emphasized the importance of his voice. Google denied the claim, saying the NotebookLM voice uses a paid professional actor. Legal experts say the case may hinge on listener confusion and publicity-rights law.
