Because of this, at this time we will not be releasing our research, model or datasets publicly. Has OpenAI's handling of GPT-2 inadvertently provided political cover for commercial organizations who would love to claim they engage with the ML research community but would actually prefer to contribute nothing other than medium articles?

#22there are tools that do that now, but i find that i can't listen to the current quality of computer generated voices for more than a few minutes.
with an almost human like voice i don't think i'll care if there is the occasional glitch that makes me realize that it is a generated voice as long as it sounds fine otherwise.

#23Impressive (really), but it raises a more philosophical question (as in practical ethics): do we really want voice-bots to blend in perfectly, or should they better feature distinctive marks (like a rather monotonous personality)? [Edit: This is not so much about DeepFakes, as discussed in the article, but more about a general level of implementation.]
If I want a Dan Rather news reader application that parses text and says it to me (and obviously, Dan Rather is okay with it), I see no issue with that. I don't want to be distracted by the artificial tone and attempting to parse it on my end.
