If a picture is worth a thousand words, here is a video that would be worth a million words (GREAT product video):
The TL;DW: 
1. voice cloning technology democratised 
2. audio editing by editing just the transcript (removing words/sentences or adding them in the audio file)  
It might not be perfect to start with, but give it time and it will be life-like.
Opens up lots of potential for good.. and for bad!
Looking forward to the Black Mirror episode that will use this in its plot 😁
