   This is going to help scammers a lot. Imagine getting a call from your loved ones, and they explain they are in trouble and need immediate financial assistance. This is going to affect so many elderly and innocent people. OpenAI is developing these tools again from publicly scrapping of your voice samples.

     Remember, Microsoft is investing another $100 billion into this company to build the giant AI supercomputer. They are equally responsible for this kind of problem. If this money were invested in cancer research, nobody would have said anything, but everything they do will either enable scammers or steal jobs.

     I've actually personally witnessed a scam like this 4-5 years ago, minus the ai, with an individual pretending to be someone's grandson. Their basic ruse was that they'd been on vacation in Mexico and had gotten arrested because some friends they were riding with had marijuana and needed bail money wired. Call quality was bad, but understandable. Call came in to the business line of a u-store storage locker company. I played along, which I found quite amusing in retrospect.

     @nixCraft It's awful, but also that scam has been going on for decades without AI. Meaning, the evidence of how people will for sure abuse this is there they just don't want to look at it.

     But of course, this scam is more prominent in lower income countries or countries with a lot of violence and, I mean, eeww, right?

     Time to flood the field with the OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, saying the worst stuff imaginable.

     @nixCraft I mean, this already exists with 11labs and some other AI voice generators, but the question is how much more realistic is OpenAI's version, plus if it can display emotion (which could definitely help with scams)

     @nixCraft maybe OpenAI could try inventing a product human beings could use and not just scammers and creeps?
     Oh, I guess not then.....

     @nixCraft This is the norm in Mexico, and they are targeting people from all ages with fake calls from banks that sound as real as they can get.

     We knew the calls came from convicts but we don't know how are they evolving so fast from the prison.
