I can see this being interesting for gamers and more whimsical pursuits, but I'm more curious about neural speech synthesis for both normal speech and singing--the first because there is a pretty strong demand for automated narration of training videos, and the second because of my music hobby--other than vocaloids and a few niche DAWs, I haven't found any nice Open Source tooling for the latter (the former I can mostly do with XTTSv2).

From what I found, XTTSv2 is based on the Coqui Public Model License, which explicits disallows commercial commercial usage: "This license allows only non-commercial use of a machine learning model and its outputs."

So, from what I understand, I cannot use it and then upload the training video to Youtube. Or can I?

I guess if it is demonetized it should be ok? Or maybe not if your other content or activity is commercial, as even if the video in itself doesn't make money it would indirectly promote your other commercial activity.

Interesting legal problem.
