Been thinking a lot about how to accomplish this myself for a similar product I'm building, glad to hear someone else is thinking about it too!
A. Impressive display of capability
B. A very clever choice as it's recognizable but not as universal as say Obama's voice or Joe Rogan's would be
C. Brilliant marketing
I probably wouldn't offer it as a "real" voice for use in bulk through the API due to the legal concerns, but on the marketing page it's really cool and I would hang on to it. Plus if you get sued it would be great publicity :-)
Frankly, trying to fight against the Goliath, with 0 marketing budget, and I’m desperately hoping to create noise. Breaking a rule or two is something AWS can’t do at their scale.
On the bulk offering, I do have a clear path forward. In short, I can create new synthetic voices. It’s like those this-person-does-not-exist images but for voice. “unreal speech”
This is blunt and clear immoral behavior and you are fully aware of it. You just think that you have the right to reach success not by your own skills, but by stepping on other people, and until they complain you'll keep doing it.
PS: Even if Amazon does the same thing it's no excuse for you. Look up tu quoque fallacy.
Bringing others down will never be an antidote to not building or achieving anything in your life. Your time will be better spent if you focus on bringing yourself up and others around you.
I think you want to get a rise out of someone over the Internet, with your identity hidden, to get attention. Hence, this will be my last comment-- but if you want to turn it around, I'd be down to help.
