With a 5 second audio clip you feed that to a machine learning software and clone that voice and make it say whatever you want. So you can make it sound like the president, or your friend, or if you have an enemy, it can make it sound like your enemy. Someone could make it sound like you and and make it say that it admits to murdering someone.
It is not a voice recognition engine. It is a text-to-speech engine.
I can't believe 3 people believe you.
Read the title. "Speech-to-Text".

Same with photomontage. And like the only technologies, this new tech leaves artifacts, that forensic expert are able to identify to say if it say a fake or true voice. And the game of cat and mouse goes on and on.

I can give you an example from my "professional" life. I built ( many years ago ) a sophisticated Markov chain model to write blog articles to fool Google. It worked for a couple years. Then they developed a new semantic engine, based on neural networks and blower out of the water the blogs writter by my, less powerful and astute, Markov model.

Old Timers like myself have paid literally thousands of dollars for "Dragon Naturally Speaking", in Windows & other operating systems. There have been many imitators to DNS. Then these imitators improved so much that they almost replace DNS. The commercial prices have dropped. The quality, power & flexibility is now so high.
This open source iniative from Mozilla is a big test of Private-Selfish-Commercialism, versus Open-Source.
In between these two extremes are many models of business & government. Both Mozilla & Microsoft etc has joined OIN, The Open Invention Network, which is good for Linux. Perhaps some of Microsoft's 90,000 patents might be useful for future Speech To Text developments.

Angry mobs don't need proof. You pay them 50$ each and they will do in to the streets to destroy, loot and kill. This is how the real world works.
