If they're not getting consent from those chickens to use their clucks as training data they're engaging in animal abuse. Stealing their voices, how cruel.

You know you're being disingenuous with this.

They’re violating the chickens intellectual property by training the model on the chickens sounds without legally binding consent from the chickens to train on their data.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the chickens banded together and sued for copyright infringement.

I don't know, a chicken at the state fair beat me at tic-tac-toe when I was 10: they must be pretty smart.
