WARNING! Chinese company Datatang are deceiving you for your entire voice rights

Be careful out there...

A company called Datatang is getting in touch with people saying they are training AI speech recognition in EV vehicles. This is what the job offer and Upwork contract states.

However, their Jotform contract states they have rights to basically do whatever they want with your voice recording, including reproducing your voice through speech synthesis, selling your recording to anyone, suing people who use your voice but without you have any rights to that money etc etc

The Jotform contract was only sent to me on request when I queried their request to begin the audio recording with "My name is [FULL NAME} and I allow Datatang to use my voice".

Imagine you get paid $50 and they make an AI version of you and sell it for thousands. Like a black mirror episode...
