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.

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.
