Funny story. I’ve started letting my oldest (late elementary school age) listen to select Darknet diaries podcast episodes. He loves the idea of being a hacker. We just finished an episode about social engineering using AI deep fake voices and number spoofing.

Today my wife gets a message from his teacher. He searched online in class and found a website that will do voice cloning. He then recorded his teachers voice and cloned it. He then used the cloned voice in class.

Sigh. Kids these days. I had to have the talk about using other people’s voice without their consent when I really just wanted to tell him I thought that was clever and funny.
