Meta says its new speech-generating AI model is too dangerous for public release.

Meta announced a new AI model called Voicebox yesterday, one it says is the most versatile yet for speech generation, but it’s not releasing it yet:

There are many exciting use cases for generative speech models, but because of the potential risks of misuse, we are not making the Voicebox model or code publicly available at this time.

The model is still only a research project, but Meta says can generate speech in six languages from samples as short as two seconds and could be used for “natural, authentic” translation in the future, among other things.

"You can be unethical and still be legal; that's the way I live my life." - Mark Zuckerberg, March 5, 2004.

So knowing that, what is the danger? I‘d think of what it does to making news even more untrustworthy or be used for scamming people, but that can‘t be it, because that is simply unethical and he doesn‘t care about that.

How would the release of it hurt their bottom line? Maybe I am already putting too much thought into this and it‘s just stupid hype building.
