> "unauthorized" is a weasel word

Is not a weasel word. There is nothing unambiguous about it.

> it implies that it should be necessary for the developer to ask David Attenborough for authorization

Yes. It does. Now you might disagree with that, but it perfectly unambiguously means that.

What? It means nothing of the kind.

Have you never heard about unauthorized biographies?

It is ambiguous because it makes it sound like we are talking legality here, but there's nothing illegal about making a project like this if you do not profit from it. Therefore, it is a weasel word.

I think you're right, as long as it's clearly labelled as AI-generated.
