It would seem that the closer one gets to recreating the look or sound of someone else, the less acceptable it is.

Or, more simply, is it an attempt at deceiving people into believing it’s the actual individual being impersonated?

Impersonating someone like Lincoln in a car commercial is one thing, but it’s another is someone presented an impersonation as their actual voice in a documentary.

It’s also complicated by the fact that the AI voice is trained on his likeness and dubious as if the reproduction is a new creation or something else. Similar to the debate about GitHub Copilot.
