Morgan Freeman Outraged By AI Voice Impersonation, Thanks Fans For Exposing 'Scam'

Hollywood icon Morgan Freeman has publicly expressed gratitude to his fans for exposing the unauthorized use of an AI-generated version of his distinctive voice. The 87-year-old actor, celebrated for his narration in films like 'The Shawshank Redemption' and documentaries like 'Cosmic Voyage,' was at the center of a social media storm after a TikTok user introduced herself as his niece and shared videos purportedly featuring his AI-generated voice.

Freeman addressed the issue through a post on social media platform X, writing, 'Thank you to my incredible fans for your vigilance and support in calling out the unauthorized use of an A.I. voice imitating me. Your dedication helps authenticity and integrity remain paramount. Grateful.'

This incident comes in the wake of actor Scarlett Johansson threatening legal action against OpenAI for allegedly imitating her voice after she declined to license it to the company.
