what usually gets lost on people is how Mac tended to have had things first, like everything has Bluetooth now, but Mac OSX had it long before Windoze did
That’s just not true - in fact, Apple is well-known for repeatedly releasing ‘new’ products/features that already existed elsewhere, but acting like they invented it. That goes all the way back to the original Macintosh.

Do you think people in the UK have to greet royalty every other week or something? I’ve lived here for 34 years and it’s never come up.
Can they not just send a DMCA takedown notice to the host of that web server?
Article doesn’t mention this affecting anywhere other than the US. Why is this in world news?
It’s like RoboCop having a meltdown when he tries to arrest an OCP officer
As mentioned in the article, these are all union VAs and their new agreement explicitly protects them from AI being used without their permission.
If it turns out they really did use AI to rework some of the voice lines, there could be a major lawsuit coming…
