In Light Of Recent Events Involving The Use Of AI In The TSBS Fandom, I Feel The Need To Say Something:

In light of recent events involving the use of AI in the TSBS fandom, I feel the need to say something:

There is apparently quite a good number of AI on character.ai that uses the voices of some of the VAs (Davis, Reed, Kat, Matt) and some have used their voices to make AI covers for songs. I have heard samples of a few and I'm in shock by how accurate they sound. But don't mistake this for any kind of praise, because it's not.

Please stop using them.

The VAs have stated that they don't condone the use of their voices for AI purposes. It doesn't matter if it's for something as harmless as roleplay or wanting to hear your favorite characters sing a song. By using these AI voices, you are actively disrespecting the VAs' wishes and their boundaries. These things can be absolutely damaging and detrimental to their careers if someone were to misuse them. This is an especially concerning matter to me because they are my friends.

That being said: please please PLEASE don't go around harassing people about this. If you see or know anyone who is using them, please just advise them to kindly respect the boundaries of the VAs.

On an additional note semi related to this topic:

I'd like to quickly make an official statement and say that I don't want any character.ai bots to be made from characters from my AUs, or any AI voices attached to them. As far as I am aware, the only ones I know exist are some from my Fairy AU and the SK AU.

If you've seen them or made them, please stop using them or remove them. I am no longer comfortable with the thought that my characters could potentially be misused with this technology and not know it.

Think that's it for now; thank you for reading and happy Friday 👍🏻
