Their business model is creepy and unethical.

That's the weird thing to me, at least market it in some way that's not creepy. This tech can be amazing for people who have recordings of their voice but lost the ability to speak out loud since; I certainly would want to use this software for that purpose if I were ever to lose my voice long term. Or you could go the unexplored business direction and market it for voice actors and the companies that hire them (especially the lower segment, like for ads) because a voice alone cannot be copyrighted.

But no, they went the "creepy internet stalker/misinformation generator/scammer" way. Quite unimaginative.
