Meta is reportedly in discussions with several celebrities about licensing their voices for upcoming AI projects. The buzz is that they’re aiming to launch a voice assistant like Siri or Google Assistant, but allow users to choose from a list of celebrity’s voices.

This concept isn’t entirely new. Remember Waze and its popular feature allowing users to select celebrity voices for navigation? However, it raises questions about the potential restrictions such licensing deals might impose on the assistant’s dialogue capabilities. Could celebrity-endorsed voices limit what your AI can say?
