Maybe I'm getting old, but, I have to say, seeing stuff like "Alan Turing™" (a legend and titan of computing history, followed by a ™) really bums me out. I don't believe for one second that any of the deceased people listed here would want their likeness emulated in such a hollow, mechanical, and inhuman way for all of eternity.
An enormous bummer of a fact is that Majel Barrett, who was the voice of the computer on Star Trek (along with a number of other roles), did phonetic voice recordings specifically to reproduce her voice, yet nobody has used those recordings to do so. I'd love to see her on this list.

I'd personally want to hear new voices, not more of the same. I wonder if products like this take away from the opportunity for new talent to arise.

There's plenty of open source tools out there that you can use to do this. Why wait for someone else to make something that you're passionate about?
You mean Lwaxana Troi, Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Riix, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed?
It makes sense to allow people to license their own voice on a per project basis.
Voices of dead actors? Feels wrong.
Yikes
Classic shovel mentality.

Translation: "We'll be your middle man..."
I find it hard to believe they already have the 'Ok' from Maya Angelou. Maybe I'm wrong.
Agreed.
Regardless of getting the "ok" or not, this use of AI just feels morbid.
