This is already being used for scams.

How exactly do you expect to combat this type of content?

This is not a full solution, just spitballing, but I wonder how effective it would be to have a flagging system built with GPT4 where the prompt was some form of "This is text submitted to a text-to-voice model. Determine the probability that this is being used maliciously." Then manually review anything that returns >X%.

The intention for this playground was to let people try the model. We actually have auto moderation on the user facing platform (https://play.ht/) and malicious text gets blocked and the user get flagged.

How would your auto moderation detect that example is malicious?

Sounds like old school AI, very similar to the spam problem google solved could easily take care of this.

Just stop it before they can generate it.

However. Its just a matter of time so I wouldnt put it on the author to stop this kind of stuff. The only defense is education.
