Upon reflection, I'm not so sure that our usage of our voice in real life can be dismissed so easily as a concern, even if the comment was intended to dismiss concerns about this website.

Probably the folks who could best use this nefariously are the folks we already know, who have much greater availability to our voice. Those folks are in the best situation to capitalize on a working voice model to, say, call our manager, bank branch, or local emergency operator. A random website would have to go to some effort to accumulate the needed information to use our voice for much, whereas someone who already knows us could have us fired for the contents of a phone call to the manager, up on charges for prank-calling 911, or worse.
