“A reasonably good clone can be created with under a minute of audio and some are claiming that even a few seconds may be enough.” Mom wary about answering calls for fear voice will be cloned for future virtual kidnapping.
Unless I know who you are, I’m not answering your call. 90% of the time it’s a robot and the other 10% can leave a voicemail.
Isn’t a voicemail worse for detecting deepfakes because it doesn’t require it to dynamically listen and respond?
I’ll go one farther - unless it’s my doc, my wife, or my boss, I’m neither answering the call nor listening to the voicemail. That’s what easily skimmable voicemail transcription is for…
I don’t love the privacy implications of transcribed voicemail, ofc, but it’s better for my own privacy/threat model than answering the phone to robots, scammers, and etc. It’s also a hell of a lot better for my mental health, vs listening to them.
