Netflix’s Wonka show uses an AI Gene Wilder voice, and viewers object

Netflix’s reality competition “Wonka’s The Golden Ticket” uses an AI recreation of Gene Wilder’s voice, generated by ElevenLabs with permission from Wilder’s estate. The show premiered on 23 September, and the AI voice narrates the rules to contestants. Viewers have criticized the use, arguing Wilder never consented to his voice being replicated.
