Truckers have taken on-the-road entertainment to the next level by using AI voice cloning to customize their GPS systems. Now, rather than the usual robotic instructions, drivers can get directions from voices eerily similar to famous actors, musicians, and even historical figures.
“It makes the long hauls more interesting,” said one trucker. “Hearing a famous action star yell ‘GET TO THE EXIT NOW!’ really adds some excitement to the route.”
However, what started as a fun prank has now escalated into legal chaos. Several AI-generated voices sound too accurate, leading major entertainment agencies to issue cease-and-desist letters.
One company that specializes in AI navigation is now under investigation after truckers started complaining that their celebrity-voiced GPS systems were giving ‘bad advice on purpose.’
“Mine keeps telling me to take a shortcut through a cornfield, then laughs like it’s a prank show,” one driver reported. Another claims his GPS only speaks in movie quotes, making turns a guessing game.
Entertainment lawyers warn that using AI-generated voices without permission could result in serious copyright issues. Some truckers remain defiant, insisting that they should be allowed to pick their road companion voices freely.
“If they take this away from us,” one driver said, “I’m switching mine to sound like a pirate and making it speak only in riddles.”
