Mozilla hasn't been a contender for, let alone are, the best player in the browser market for a long time. They often willingly trade their users' best interests with abject nonsense and gaslight them when they complain.
I know this might be an extreme position to take, but if Mozilla truly wanted the best for internet users, it should dissolve and deprecate their browser. Their death would leave behind a large clearing for other projects that actually put their users first.
I use Brave now and I hate it, but at least they seem to actually care about my privacy.
Judges and prosecutors should lose their immunity and be held accountable for their negligent and reckless actions. Legal systems can never be just until bad actors face repercussions, irrespective of what role they serve.
My point is that these models were already out there before StyleTTS2 was released. Plugging your ears and demanding their regulation in your country will not make them disappear.
If you're willing to accept text based output then Text adventure style games and even simulating bash was possible using chatgpt until openAI nerfed it.
That might have been true about a year ago, but I've been getting calls from well-spoken native-level scammers for about two months now. They are so frequent that I can put them on speaker during family gatherings to raise awareness.
Sample sizes of 1 are never representative but they definitely have full access to native speakers or tech that can generate very passable speech.
Just imagine if this line of thinking was used elsewhere.
This tech is already out of the bag and I thank the author(s) for the contribution to humanity. The correct solution here is not to shove your head in the sand and ignore reality, but to get your government to penalize any country or company that facilitates this crime. If they can force severe penalties for other financial crimes and funding terrorism, they can do the same here.
Instead of sacrificing flexibility by building one monolith model that does Audio to audio in one go, wouldn't it be better to train a model that handles conversing with the user (knows when the user is done talking, when it's hearing itself, etc) and leave the thinking to other, more generic models?
