Everyone’s gonna act like they don’t care until scammers are calling your loved ones with your face and your voice and stealing your life savings. Or people are working remote jobs using your voice and face and government ID and you have to pay the taxes for it. Or whatever.
This is a new front of identity theft. The laws that are crafted now are going to decide how awful this new technology will be able to be exploited. You may not care about a voice actor from a video game having her voice stolen, but the impact of decisions surrounding this stuff is going to affect us all at some point very soon.
These scams didn’t just start this year. Yes it is easier with these tools but a lot of things are becoming easier because of them, not just the bad stuff.
The problem is legislating too aggressively won’t really affect the scammers and would only fuck up all the good application of the tech.
People are going to start giving their loved ones the IRS spiel about how they won’t call you asking for personal info.

Wolfy’s fine honey. Wolfy is just fine… where are you?
Yah fausta parents are ded…
ITT: Dipshits, apparently.
Until being a neckbearded simp is made illegal, this will always happen. This doesn’t excuse it in any way whatsoever, but it does explain it.

Who cares?
You think you sound cool when you say that, it just make you look like an ignorant asshole
I used text to speech AI by one of the BG3 actors on his comment and he does sound cool.
Wrong on both fronts.
You already knew you were an asshole?
🥱
This dude is a shit eating troll.
In another thread, he is shit talking people who earn less than 100k as being in the top earning groups and saying they have no right to complain about how inflation will be impacting the youth.
He just says dumb shit to piss people off. Report him as a troll.
In other news, Jack Nicholson is seeking back royalties from everyone who’s ever done an impression of him shouting "You can’t handle the truth!’
Technology bad, degens gonna degen.
There ain’t no freak in French fries
You’re not wrong but that’s a pretty callous way of putting it.
Outlawing this stuff would be questionable and challenging, but they’re right to look down on this behavior.
Nah, they’re entirely wrong.
