A partnership with OpenAI will let podcasters replicate their voices to automatically create foreign-language versions of their shows.

I have mix feeling about this, I have many English podcasts that I would love to recommend to my non-english speaking friends, so I feel very excited about this idea. But again, I felt the podcasters are being abused in someway with this.
Are the podcasters getting paid for these translated versions? If so, and at the same rate, then I don’t personally see an issue. If not, then yes, it’s exploitation.
Edit: and as long as the AI voice isn’t reused for other content without consent from the owner of said voice.
