AI-generated face and voice cloning reportedly used in romance scam
A Reddit user reported encountering a romance scam that allegedly utilized high-quality AI for face and voice cloning, noting the realistic appearance of the synthetic media.
According to a Reddit user, a romance scam employed advanced AI technology, including face and voice cloning, to create a convincing persona. The user observed that the synthetic media, particularly the face and voice, were of high quality and featured a "pretty average" looking woman, which might make the scam harder for older individuals to detect. The user highlighted this as a significant advancement for scammers, contrasting it with skepticism about voice cloning's prevalence and expressing personal concern about future potential for banks to be fooled by cloned voices for withdrawals.
