You're right, of course. Unfortunately, however, we're all just actors in a giant, multi-player, iterated Prisoner's Dilemma here. If I decide not to pursue human-level automated speech generation, or I end up developing it and don't release because it's "too dangerous," someone else will just come in behind me and take all that market share I could have captured.
It's like we're stuck in some movie that came out in 1994[0], or something. Except, in this version, everything is gonna up sooner or later, anyway. Might as well profit from it along the way, right?
