MODERATORS
Fwiw I disagreed with you but upvoted for making a reasoned argument. We do need to drop that reddit mentality of downvote what you disagree with. IMHO you should downvote things that are either demonstrably false, or low-effort.
That said, I think both voice/image impersonation individually would fit the bill for "intent to deceive". I'd be surprised if it didn't already have a lot of legal precedent in the realm of advertising.

The tom watts case is the only one I'm aware of off the top of my head, but the TL/Dr is they tried to license a song of his to use, he refused, so they just hired an impersonator to sing in his style instead. He sued Frito lay and won.
