This is the first startup here where I think the tech should essentially be illegal. It's cool tech, yes I'm impressed at the achievement. Nuclear weapons are impressive too. OTOH this kind of thing is getting easier and easier to do, so what's a realistic way forward?
I had envisioned the scammers leveling up to this scam last week or so in a comment here. Though google news a few days later showed me it's already happening...

I truly do not understand people like these founders, obviously they understand the future they're creating. "If not us, someone else would do it" is not an excuse. Neither is "I like money".
How is the latency for real-time TTS? I remember kicking the tires several months back but went with one of the big 3 cloud providers since they had lower latency. I also like that the cloud provider supports SSML and I can explicitly configure the emotion, whereas Playht dynamically changed the emotion based on context of the text.
Get a panicky call from "me" in the middle of the night? If I don't include my safe word, that call isn't from me.

You could of course clone a voice to generate that "consent" -- but at that point there's no additional harm done because they'd already have the clone.
It's unrealistic that this tech won't exist somewhere, even if the big actors stay away for ethical reasons. A voice auth practice strikes me as a good compromise.
How do you assert that the cloned voice has been truly permitted by the voice owner? I've had my voice cloned without my consent by other people using Descript and Eleven Labs. What is your process for verifying consent?
It's mentioned in the second demo video that they have a strict process to prevent cases like yours. I think Descript started asking for identity verification after its service was abused. This one probably has a similar process too.
