The owner of NotJordanPeterson.com, a website for generating convincing clips of Jordan Peterson saying whatever you want using AI, shut down their creation this week after the real Peterson announced his displeasure and raised the possibility of legal action.

While the site was up, a 21-second recording greeted visitors to the site, saying in Peterson's voice, "This is not Jordan Peterson. In fact, I'm a neural network designed to sound like Dr. Peterson." The clip implored the visitor to type some text into a box, that would be fed into a neural network trained on hours of Peterson's actual voice, and generated into audio that sounded a lot like the real thing.
