What is in this demo is a very rate-limited, early version of our new model. We have many mitigations in place to increase the safety of our main product (Play.ht); I mentioned some of that here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35331310

Your mitigations are so bad, you must know that they are almost useless. No website has ever kept up with spam by individually checking every complaint, and you would only stop people after they've already recorded large amounts of output from a stolen voice.

On the other hand, as you also know, you could easily put a much stronger safeguard on by making people say a short prepared statement and only clone voices who have said that statement. You do not appear to have done that. Why not, except it would make it harder to voice steal?

The mitigations don't seem to address targeted attacks that I'd think you can assume will happen.

How do you address the civil and criminal liability of that?

[eganist]

Are there even any criminal laws against this? I mean, it strikes me that there should be, but my non lawyerly self has never heard of any.

Then why release this outdated version?
