This is kinda interesting but not really a surprise. Affecting a lot of folks I know this week!

It got me to thinking about -
What if these DJs in their contracts had a T&C section about how their words spoken over the airwaves were the property of iHeart Media and as such the company collected their words and created a language model and AI "virtual DJ" based on the voice characteristics of their past DJs?
Sure, maybe the contracts had a NIL agreement but at that point would they just bank on the definitions of "Image" and "Likeness" and try to hum-haw around it?
The public would neither care nor remember after about 6 months, IMO.
Too much coffee today
