JOE BIDEN OR FAKE? AI ATTACKS UNCLE SAM
Residents in New Hampshire receive mysterious calls, advising them to skip the primary elections in a Jamie Biden on the other end. But hold up – his voice was being used by an evil imposter, an AI clone!
Enter Eleven Labs, an app a fraudster used to copy Biden’s voice and spout false information to New Hampshire residents, slinging dirt on the Republicans. Say it isn’t so! I put Eleven Labs to the test, and man, it’s convincing.
How convincing? Well, not only could it capture everything from the way I tend to speak between words, but also replicate my pitch and tone. And trust me, you don’t want to mess with these clones. The attack in New Hampshire tells us that these fake voices could be generated in real-time – and I could easily pull a fast one on anyone I know.
I know what you’re thinking – how can you clone someone’s voice? And the answer is simple – the more voice recordings steered towards the sinister app, the more realistic the cloned voice becomes. And it’s not just Eleven Labs that can do this. Scams involving voice cloning are on the rise.
Nearly a quarter of the people surveyed have experienced some kind of AI voice scam. A poor elderly couple fell for a fake call from their ‘grandson’ in need of money to get out of jail. The voice was an AI creation, and they lost everything. And with clones becoming more convincing and affordable, watch your back before you become a victim.
So, what can we do to protect ourselves from these sneaky scammers? Word to the wise – watch what you post on social media, or you could be next! And when in doubt, hang up and avoid any chance for them to record your voice. What else can we do to save ourselves from becoming victims? Talk to me! What do you think?
