Uh there's zero chance these big techs are selling voices like this. Also, this sounds very targeted and planned, so there must be more context to this. Also, why the hell are they on bluesky?
They're on BlueSky because there are more people there that would actually believe this total load of bullshit. Plenty of scams that will claim to be vague family member (no names; just like "son" or "daughter," "aunt" or "uncle") but highly unlikely they're getting an AI to mimic your voice. Just like vagueness of the family member they claim to be, the voices used may coincidentally sound similar.
All of these articles are making it up then? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/30/business/voice-deepfakes-bank-scams.html https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/29/us/ai-scam-calls-kidnapping-cec/index.html https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/experts-warn-rise-scammers-ai-mimic-voices-loved/story?id=100769857 https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ai-supercharges-voice-scams-making-it-easier-for-americans-to-fall-prey-143635279.html https://www.cbsnews.com/news/scammers-ai-mimic-voices-loved-ones-in-distress/
