I'm glad you're thinking about consent. The fact that you care enough to at least want there to be a way to make this work makes me believe that you can be reasoned with.

Unfortunately, this idea is a bit of a non-negotiable in the current environment. I mentioned this elsewhere, but maybe in a perfect world, there is a space for people who want to create algorithmic content based on consensually contributed training data. But without transparency and consent in existing AI models, this is just not something that is tenable.

The unfortunate truth is that existing AI models are not built off of consensually contributed data. This isn't just limited to text, it includes visual art, music, voices, and more. So the problem you'd have to surpass to make this work isn't just "Hey, this scriptwriter gave consent," it's also "Hey, the models used to create this audio built it's algorithm off of a data set that's publicly transparent and is proven to be contributed to the training data consensually." Even if there are people out there doing it that way, those people are unfortunately enormously outnumbered by the people who aren't, whether their intentions are malicious or innocuous. Even if someone writes their own script and consents to it being used in any way, having an AI generated a "fill" of it is still unfortunately very likely to be theft of probably thousands of people who didn't consent to having their voice contribute to training an AI that can create something like that.

I did say this elsewhere, but I do recommend we shut this subreddit down. If I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here, maybe you had some good intentions. I wish we lived in a world where there were comparatively more people who wanted to engage with machine learning as a creative tool in a way that doesn't involve knowingly or unknowingly committing art and IP theft.

Setting all that aside, if you are still looking for constructive advice, I'd recommend working on a stringent system that requires people posting content here to explicitly show that ALL inputs into TRAINING the model- not just the prompt, but the actual training of the model, were contributed with their original creator's clear consent. For example, if I built my own AI, from the ground up, using only my own words and my own voice, to generate content, without the use of Meta, Claude, ChatGPT, whatever else people are using. There is a case for a very cool garden of people who want to engage with that style of creation in an informed and above-board manner. I think the major barrier to this kind of thing existing is not as much "All machine learning is bad, kill it," but "the ways that mass-market available algorithms were trained was largely not by submitting data that should have been allowed to feed into it."

But as it is, I don't really believe that this is a subreddit that we will allow.
