They stole my voice with AI

Elecrow—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.

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 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.
