Or

Don't post so much content of yourself online.

These bots need something to build off of. It's not like Facebook can look at your picture and imagine your voice. It's gotta be online, someone's gotta go build a bank of it and train a robot to sound like you before that can work. Hawk tua girl is out there but the rest of us who aren't obsessively tiktoking every moment of our lives are fine

It's getting pretty easy:

I hqd this set this up in about 8 minutes on a moderate gaming PC. It's pretty convincing

You cloned the repository and everything? I looked into that, but the install seemed very annoying, I'll wait until something like this is in a package manager.

I downloaded the zip file and then set up a venv to run the program. It'll get easier soon though, eventually somebody will package it

You and I do that but we can’t control how our family members use social media.

And what happens when Google is hacked and all of your information is leaked?

I agree, its not a good idea to put yourself on the internet, at the same time its unreasonable to assume the average person can build their own data management system (and not leak any of that to SOMEONE).

Hell, Google had it as a default that any time you use voice to text, it saves that audio file. You don't have to be giving anything personally to the internet for a scammer to get a hold of your voice.
