I do think that voice cloning for personal usage has actual genuine uses - in fact there was a relatively interesting news article about a person who was irrevocably losing their voice who had their vocal pattern cloned.

That being said, it does seem a bit bizarre that the repo's home page is proudly trumpeting the ability to co-opt other people's identities without their permission (and yes your unique vocal pattern is definitely part of your identity - I mean it's used in some forms of biometric data). They're doing the project a bit of a disservice.
