After listening to this, I feel annoyed at the folks in the "AI clones teen girl’s voice in $1M kidnapping scam: ‘I’ve got your daughter’" thread that was on the front page yesterday saying "ppfftt bullshit you'd need to be an idiot to fall for an AI voice" - Guess I'm an idiot. Like it or not, generative media is getting better and better by the day.

Yeah, the voice-gen software has been pretty great lately. The annoyance at folks who wanna ignore that is warranted. Their responses come off very flippant and contrarian.

at this point this is now a great metric to measure originality by - if people can’t distinguish the real you from generative AI you it just means you’ve fallen into a Rut or never had much nee to say anyway.

  How does that make any sense when AI can be made to say literally anything?

  I don't understand how the phone systems allow for anonymous phone calls. Is it because of virtual telephone services? It feels like they should be required by law to follow KYC regulations like banks do.

    And there should be a 5c tax on every phone call made

Now you may want to adjust your estimations on how fast this is going, and how disruptive (and bad) it's going to be further. Exponential change is not something we're good at conceptualizing. I really don't want to go through the singularity. I used to dream of an AI utopia, now I really wish I were born a hundred years ago instead and only had the great depression and war to look forward to.
