Next thing you are going to tell me is that I’m actually intentionally leaving contradictory “hints” in my comments to protect my privacy online, or something like that.

FWIW I figure I’d verify and these are the closest they get to saying it outright.

You guys are laughing right now, but as the only real celebrity on Lemmy, identity theft is not a joke! Millions of celebrities would suffer every year!

Imagine what would happen if some random Internet weirdo uses AI to impersonate me, super serious Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie, and make me say extremely silly things that I would never say in public on the internet? Would you still think impersonating a celebrity is funny?

At least they are not doing the Twitter/X thing where they impersonate celebrities to push crypto… yet.

Lemmy Silver is the only fake Internet money I endorse.

I’ve never seen anyone trying to impersonate me on Lemmy, but if you ever see them, could you tell them to promote my latest movie, now also available on streaming, since I’m still on strike?

Erm. You are not planning to impersonate a celebrity to make them say hateful things they would not say, right?

I think Tortoise is the best open source model, and ElevenLabs is the best closed source one. But you should always be careful and responsible if you are speaking with someone else’s voice.

Lol comparing this to biopics… What a fucking joke. A piece of literal art (whether I enjoy it or not), written, rewritten, casted, produced, rewritten again, thousands of people working together to create a film from literally nothing…

Totally the same thing as a creepy dude making their username “Margot Robbie” like it’s creative or funny… Totally the same thing. Same level of creativity and execution.

Also, perhaps most importantly, biopics of living people are rarely, if ever, made without that person’s (or their estate’s) permission. They have rights about their image being used. And, if the movie is defamatory, the person can sue.

This isn’t even apples and oranges. We’re comparing two completely different types and classes of foods.

As someone who was as reddit since long before the digg migration, and remembers how it was like. And how lemmy reminds me a bit of it… Forgive me for trying to avoid this place turning into that shit fest. I saw it happen in real time, and it starts with awful shit like this.

Nothing wrong with a clever novelty account, but fruit is the lowest of the low hanging. Not to get too serious, It brings the entire discourse down. Obviously, I see the comment scores, and I know most of the people here seem to disagree, but I’ve seen this happen. More than once. And they started with good novelty accounts. This shit is insulting to people’s intelligence.

I thought people here were more intelligent and high brow than to find “hurr durr, their username is Margot Robbie, and that’s really funny because she’s a really famous woman known for her looks, not the technical abilities most people on lemmy have! Hahahahaha” just… What? Lazy and boring. Not even hacky because it’s not even comedy.

Just do better, that’s all.

Bring the downvotes. Make sure you validate 43 year old Frank, from Boseman, Montana, for being smart and clever enough to come up with such a brilliant idea. I mean, to make your username THAT? Just inspired…
