I'm imagining the legal implications though I'm not a lawyer. If granny gets ripped off by someone impersonating me with this site, seems like Granny could sue Play.ht.

Play.ht will want to have as much information as possible about their users.

You are right, and unfortunately that is a possibility, and we are working on having measure in place to guard against such attempts. We have auto moderation on the input text that will block such audio being generated. Such users are flagged in the system.

What are you filtering for in the input text that would block something like a phone scam?

How would granny prove the scammer used play.ht?

If law enforcement ever busts a scammer and discovers a tool like this was essential to the scam, that would generate lawsuits.
