Speaker 1 (00:01):
Caitlin's Entertainment Report He's on the Bread Show.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Morgan Freeman thanked his fans for calling out unauthorized AI
imitations of his iconic voice, and his voice has made
him a really popular target of AI generated voice imitations,
including a recent Virals series of tiktoks created by a
woman posing as.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
The actor's NEPO niece. So that's not good.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Morgan wrote, thank you to my incredible fans for your
villagence and support and calling out the unauthorized use of
an AI voice imitating me. Your dedication helps authenticity and
integrity remain paramount. Grateful hashtag AI, hashtag scam, hashtag imitation,
hashtag identity protection. So he is somebody's like peepa on

(00:44):
the Internet, I feel like with all those hashtags.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
But he's very happy that his fans told him.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
This comes, of course, as Scarlett Johansson's legal team recently
called out Open Ai to disclose how they created their
AI personal voice assistant Sky and to pull the chatbot
down as it sounded basically exactly like Scarlet. Remember she
played essentially a computer in a movie, and that's how
they think they took it. And I do believe They

(01:09):
also offered her money to lend her voice and she
said no, and then they're like, Okay, we'll just do
it our own way. Speaking of AI, researchers are saying
that open ai and Google have begun using YouTube videos
to train their text based AI models, which is pretty
scary because this could be like your video. And analysis

(01:30):
found that many of these videos that they're using were
never meant to be shared widely, AKA, they were meant
for small audiences of friends and family, even videos made
by kids. And yes, YouTube only requires uploaders to be
thirteen I guess, which I didn't know, but experts frequently
saw children who appear to be much younger. So, as
far as AI is concerned, your family reunion video maybe

(01:52):
just as important as those uploaded by an influencer giant
like mister Beasts or CNN for helping to train their system.
So they're doing this obviously without permission, and it doesn't
matter how many likes or how many comments or whatever,
which is very scary.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
So again, could we please just stop doing this, just halt.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Elvis Presley's iconic blue suede shoes were actually sold for
six figures at auction. The pair, which Elvis bought after
his song of the same name for Our Little Ones.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yes, there was a song.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
You're not supposed to step on them or mess him
up his blue sweede shoes don't step Okay, Yeah, well
they sold for one hundred and twenty thousand, slightly below
actually what they thought they were going to sell for.
He wore them throughout the fifties, including during this really
famous performance when he's saying hound dog to an actual
hounddog on the very early stages of TV. If you

(02:45):
even know what the hell I'm talking about, half of
the people listening probably don't, and they'll know about this.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Okay, this is crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Tampons are the latest product that may be suffering from
shrink flation. So over the last few months, women have
been saying they've been going through more tampons faster than usual,
some even going to their doctors to find out if
they were having health issues or if the tampons were
being made smaller.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Even though they feel like that's what's going on.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Companies such as Tampas have denied that their products have changed,
but wouldn't put it past them.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
I mean, you buy a bag of chips and there's
like two in there. For this big bag. But yeah,
it might be happening to your tampons.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
