**UPDATE 9/23**: Richard, the CEO of Elecrow responded—check out my follow-up video for my reaction and some more things I've learned about AI voice cloning this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHuPWQz9AlI

Does the voice in the clip at the beginning of this video sound familiar to you?

Thanks to viewer T.H. for spotting the use of my voice in Elecrow's videos.
