People were prone to install the OpenAI app and use the voice assistant, forgetting that the recorded voice can be used to create fake audios (see Scarlett Johansson).

Same for Google Assistant, Siri & co.

So basically I don't see why people should be concerned only for the usage by a small startup, instead of being scared by tech giants

I've been trying to clone a public figure's voice for a meme, it seems that the major offerings in this area don't let you do that because they're trying to be respectable. (I don't think there are laws about this yet, but there will be soon.) So I've had to experiment with smaller, less "serious" services.

I assume a similar logic applies here.
