I think if you are cloning voices, you should be required to have a credit card or some other KYC identifier. Even if it's free. This kind of highly abusable tech should have a paper trail IMO.

I guess I misunderstood/didn't think it all the way through. Not sure what the balance should be but... I just wanted to see how it would be at cloning my voice as a quick gauge to "is this technology ready to play around with".

As someone whose voice has been cloned without my consent, I could not agree more.

yeah because that's working great for crypto lol

What do you mean? KYC is required on every US exchange.

Exactly, that's why the crypto space doesn't have any scams

It's trivial to get your money to exchanges run by people/machines who don't care to comply with US law, or to render the KYC worthless in the first instance.

It's an effort to prevent abuse. We previously asked users to pay upfront but most people want to try it out first.

I would mention something to that effect in the modal because it wasn't clear to me why it was asking for card details at that point for "$0.00/mo" (though I guessed the reason). Maybe something like "To prevent abuse, we require card details, but you won't be charged", but worded better.

> but you won't be charged

"no matter what based on your usage/you are locked into the free tier" would have helped for sure

i still would've bounced because i just wanted to goof off with it quickly while it captured my attention and requiring a payment method is just... terrible friction to capture users being able to quickly test one of the key features you advertise, but i guess if fraud concerns are that bad, that's the tradeoff you have to accept?

Thank you. Would fix this.

Do you accept anonymous Visa/Mastercard/etc. gift cards in this payment method? If you do... are you actually preventing abuse or just making it slightly more complicated to pull off?
