I’m worried what will happen when deepfaked voices improve to the point that you can get a realistic impression with only a very small training set. Imagine receiving a phone call in the voice of a family member telling you that they’re in serious trouble.

  I once got a spear phishing call from a scammer claiming to be the CEO of the company I work for. Even though I barely know the CEO, the phrases he was using was obviously wrong. I'd imagine that's even more obvious for any family member. If a family member calls from any number that's not their number, my first question will be an honest "How the heck did you remember my phone number?"

Pretty soon it'll eliminate call centers. One person will be able to use AI to mass-robocall millions of people.

  What a dystopian, terrifying prospect. On a personal level I keep a referee's whistle handy in case I'm talking to a scammer live. They are usually wearing headsets and any damage I can do to their hearing with that may save an old persons savings in the following few minutes. Best technique is to speak softly so they turn their volume up then let rip on the whistle

    It gets more terrifying. Soon whistles will be useless because scammer AI bots with synthesized speech won't be affected.

  The answer? A scam call answering AI bot which engages with the scammer (or the scammer AI bot) and wastes as much of their time and international call fees as possible without giving them a valid bank account or gift card number, Kitboga[1]-style. As soon as you detect the call is coming from a scammer, you push a button and your phone takes it over from there. Eventually we'll just have a network of AI scambots calling up AI scambaiters and having completely useless conversations in synthesized English with each other for hours upon hours and nobody will remember why. 1: https://www.youtube.com/@KitbogaShow https://www.youtube.com/@KitbogaShow

Thankfully that’s still easy enough to spot - it sounds like a better version of those early speech synthesizers we played around with as kids in the nineties - but I can see the elderly having trouble distinguishing it from a real voice.
