Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's why you submit politician's voice instead

Yeah, but they have you read a specific text, so not as much of an option if you use the primary demo. Seems like a heck of a nice way to gather a training set! :)

The "upload audio" feature doesn't require any specific text.

Immediately, i thought that cybersecurity is now ruined for the distant future. Imagine if you will, a starship captain ready with a plot to overcome the evil plaguing their crew...and all they need to do is over-ride the starship computer's safety controls with the captain';s own voice override authorization...but, alas, early in 2025 a tech company developed the means by which said evil entity could re-override the captain's voice auth....and block the captain's plan...thereby dooming the entire crew of the starship.

This is why we can not have nice things; not now nor in the far off future! All of our uniqueness will be more easily duplicated. Thankfully, i won';t upload any of my voice recordings, and i will continue to walk around in my faraday cage suit. /s

3 seconds? That's crazy "Huuhhhhhhhhhhh" I wonder what their "fox jump" sentence is

A "Panphonic Poem" is what may do well here. As in...

  The pleasure of Shawn’s company
  Is what I most enjoy.
  He put a tack on Ms. Yancey’s chair
  When she called him a horrible boy.
  At the end of the month he was flinging two kittens
  Across the width of the room.
  I count on his schemes to show me a way now
  Of getting away from my gloom.
As discussed here:

And recited very famously, in part and slightly modified, here:
