Personally, I don't really see a problem with it as long as it's not used deceptively. In this case, it's pretty clear that it's not really David Attenborough speaking.

Outside of that, I am not sure I'm seeing a moral or economic argument for making voice copyrightable. The usual argument about incentivizing creation doesn't apply here.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. The bot mimics his speaking style very precisely.

From the tweet and video where he explains how he did it...

I'm pretty sure he came to that conclusion using context.
