It's all fun and games until someone gets a hold of your voice and uses it to scam a few grand out of your elderly family members. Disregarding ideas about ownership of celebrity image, it's not good to have that sort of technology out in the wild,

The fact that he pulled it down has me believing that he knew there was a real chance the company would get in trouble if he hadn't.

Oh, I know.

I'm responding more to the idea of "legitimate" businesses just cloning people's voice to associate their identity with a product by comparing it to something slimeballs do to the elderly, including my late grandmother.

The voice decoder used in GPT-4o is different from voice cloning techniques, which are already being used to facilitate scams: https://www.newyorker.com/science/annals-of-artificial-intel...

Ya never know how a court case will come out. He was being sensible in limiting possible damage awards.
