I got my first AI generated voicemail last night. It used my name and everything, pretending to be my dad. (He did not accept my transition back in the day, so it was immediately obvious)

If you thought the robocall waves were bad, just wait.

@Haste I noticed the older #people are the more #AI #scam and #spam #calls they get.

@Haste Yeah, this AI stuff is going to get bad... I'm not there yet, but soon I'll be doubting the legitimacy of any call I receive. And that includes calls from from people, I never get calls from.

Here's a red flag: If the president calls, it's fake as heck.

@rlstone4dems @Haste IDK about you but there has never been a point in my life where if someone called me claiming to be the POTUS I would not think it was fake. ;-)

@denisbloodnok @rlstone4dems I’ve been saying they should ask for my help for a while now

kruschti,

@Haste Yikes…

Does your dad speak publicly in some form (youtuber, podcaster, journalist, politician, …)?

If not, can you imagine how they got enough samples of your dad’s voice?

Haste,

@kruschti Yeah, he’s a YouTuber.

@kruschti @Haste AI only needs a few words to emulate a person’s voice. So if he answered his phone and just said a few things, it’s enough.

@Haste

So the future will be:

"Hi granny, you need to use the passphrase otherwise you're not real and I'll terminate you...the call that is. Love you!"

@JSharp1436 god help me having to explain the concept of a safe word ….

@Haste Wait, someone took the time to track down your dad's voice and emulate it? Why?

samhainnight,
@samhainnight@mstdn.social avatar

@msbellows @Haste it’s the latest scam

Haste,
@Haste@mastodon.social avatar

@samhainnight @msbellows Beats me, I’m not calling them back. It wouldn’t have been too hard to make though, he’s apparently a YouTuber these days.

@Haste Wow! This must be hard
