Desireé González, the Latin American Spanish voice of Monkey D. Luffy in One Piece, found an AI-made ad using her voice to promote an adult film. She laughed, asked for her royalties in the comments, then told her followers. By the afternoon the video was gone.
It started the way these things start now: with a tag. On Wednesday, September 30, someone sent the Mexican voice actress a video and asked whether the voice in it was hers. It sounded like her. She hadn't recorded it.
The video was an ad, and the business behind it, which she named as Producciones Inka, makes adult content. Within a few hours of her speaking up, the ad was deleted. The story reached the press on October 3, when Informado Caribe reported it.
