So apparently the new shit spam evil calls can record the most minimal sample of your voice and then spoof it to your friends and family…

It almost seems worth saying nothing until ‘they’ say something, but then, what if they are a spoofed caller…

Oh shit. Just don’t use phones any more.

If you don't recognize the number, answer in a funny accent. That's how you defeat the voice harvesters.

Unless I am expecting a call, such as a delivery I just dont answer phone calls, if it's important they will call again, if it's less important they can message me like a normal human being.

I had a friend try to use AI to mimic my voice and make me say some goofy stuff and it sounded nothing like me, so I think I've lucked out on that front

It has been a while though, and it's possible the technology has progressed to be able to clone my uncloneable voice

!I was tempted to say chat member but I hate advertising or talking about that at all, so enjoy this spoiler explaining something that didn't need explaining!<

I mostly don't ever answer calls I don't recognize, and even the ones I do I don't often answer if I'm at work etc. I've only answered calls when it's for something important being delivered, fixed, or scheduled (recent examples in same order: TV, Internet, renting a place(less recent, but all I could think of)).
