I’m sorry, while I understand this issue is a more visible issue for actors/voice actors, there are a lot of people who are going to be hurt by this in the long run.
I'm sorry, but as somebody who's tried out the tech, the amount of vocal processing required is still many hours of data. Even the more professional AI cloning web sites that allow you to clone your own voice require that you submit "a couple of hours" of your voice data. The reason why musicians and voice actors get into the middle of this is because they already have many hours of voice work just out there. And in many cases, the speech-to-text transcription, which is required to train a voice model, is already available. For example, an audio book.
You think scam calls are bad now?
You think scam call centers are going to spend the time to look for voice clips, parse them out, transpose them into text, put them in a model, train that model for many hours, realize the Python code needs some goddamn dependency that will take many more to debug, fix parameter settings, and then get a subpar voice model that couldn't fool anybody because they don't have enough voice clips.
They can't even be bothered to look up public information about the caller they are making the call to. Fuck, the last call I got was from a "support center for your service", and when I asked "which service?", they immediately hung up. They do not give a fuck about trying to come prepared with your personal details. They want the easiest mark possible that doesn't ask questions and can get scammed without even knowing their name.
Imagine if Gamgam gets a call
Who's Gamgam?
Record your voice a few times
Yeah, sorry, you need more than a "few times" or a "few voice clips".
