> Voice replication: Recreate consistent vocal profiles from just a 30-second audio sample of your voice or a voice you have the rights to use, backed by built-in consent verification, SynthID watermarking, and C2PA credentials to protect both developers and their vocal talent.
I guess voice cloning is widely enough available now from other providers that Google are no longer hesitant to ship it.
Google granted themselves the authority be evil back in 2018. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil
I don't know why this argument is brought up all the time anyway, it literally means nothing. They can name themselves "Don't Be Evil Inc" and continue to do evil stuff cause evil isn't an objective measure. If squeezing juice out of puppies made money, any business can just say it's "not evil."
And if you think they're evil why would you trust them to follow their own guideline of not doing evil? An evil corp would be more likely to just hide behind that phrase, not quietly remove it as some subtle hint that they want to be openly and proudly evil all of a sudden.
