Potential legitimate uses I can think of -
1. licensing voice to other uses - people with recognizable trademarkable voices (actors, singers) have another potential revenue stream. yay!
2. use of past voices - voices that are not 'owned' from the past - let's say Humphrey Bogart's voice, can be used in projects without having to pay for imitator. This would be useful for both marketing and artistic projects. But probably less for marketing because they will want to go with step 1.
3. Teach yourself to talk like X. People who need to learn to talk like a particular person / have a particular accent could learn quicker. Just think - you will be able to supplement your comedy routine with kickass Christopher Walken impersonations any day now!
Variations of 3 and 2 together open up interesting modes of aesthetic impression, but I won't go into that here. But definitely I have some ideas that might benefit from being able to do this.

It won't be long before it's fast enough to approach natural interaction (if we can solve the "when is it my turn to speak" challenge) and then we enter a new phase of digital interaction and AI training.
