Voice recognition

Boki — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 21:57:36 GMT

With all this AI crap in development (and currently in use), do you consider any kind of protection when answering calls from unknown number?
Holding your nose? Mumbling something instead of saying 'Hello' or even worse "Hello, <your_name> speaking".

Don't you afraid crooks can record and then manipulate and reuse your voice to fool other people or make even more dame accessing your bank, government, etc.?

Is there any app to scramble and modify your actual voice when you talk over the phone (mobile)? Like we see in movies or documentaries?

@Boki - I just don't answer calls from an unknown number.

I may want to just scream "HEEELLLLLOOOO"

But yeah, with this crazy stuff going on with mimicking voices and making music from AI with celebrity's voices are insane.

They might as well need verification via authentication codes - like google authenticator.

You can find apps here in this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U84fVpFOmU

@Boki I usually don't answer a number I don't know and now with Apple Live Voicemail with ios17 the message callers get is an Apple voice. When the phone rings I can just hit the voicemail button and if they leave a message I can see what they are saying being transcribed on the screen while they are leaving the message and decide whether to answer or not before they hang up. Most calls being spam they just hang up when they get the Apple recording so I don't have to go into PM voicemail to hear a nothing message or a robo-recording.

@Boki

I normally don’t answer if it is not on my contact list or practice my Hungarian lessons over the phone.
