I guess I see a ton of upside here, but I also see that this could easily be abused and possibly a tool to completely destroy someones life. Imagine getting a phone call from your "partner" saying they cheated on you. I dont know how it would be useable(api?) and I do still detect a bit of artificialness to to voice, but as this gets better I worry about the down sides and potential for harm by copying someones voice.
Thank you for raising those concerns. We take those very seriously. You can read more about our ethical stance in this article: https://lyrebird.ai/ethics/
To recap:
- we want to start by raising public awareness about the technology and we did demos with the voices of Trump/Obama for that,
- your digital voice is yours, people can not use it without your authorization.
