A Gaming YouTuber Says an AI-Generated Clone of His Voice Is Being Used to Narrate 'Doom' Videos


Mark Brown, who posts game explainers to his Game Maker’s Toolkit channel, says his persona has been plagiarized.

On a little known YouTube channel, a breezy, British narrator is explaining the ins and outs of Doom: The Dark Ages ’ story. YouTube spokesperson Jack Malon tells WIRED that it expanded its privacy request policy last year “to allow users to request the removal of AI-generated or other synthetic or altered content that simulates their face or voice.” Malon says the company is reviewing the content to determine if a violation has been made. Brown tells WIRED that his videos are often the product of over 100 hours of work, researching material, writing scripts, recording gameplay, and editing.
