Scammers Using AI To Recreate Kids Voices To Scam Parents

Author Morty

Phone and online scams are nothing new, but scammers are getting smarter and using artificial intelligence or AI, to make the phone scams more real!

Scammers are now going on social media platforms like TikTok to get a short clip of kids voices. With the use of AI, they can recreate audio to sound exactly like your kids, just off a two to three second clip of their voice.

Jennifer DeStefano, from Arizona recently had this happen to her! She got a call from a number she didn’t recognize. Normally you wouldn’t answer those calls but Jennifer’s daughter was on a trip and she figured it could be her calling.

Sure enough, on the other end of the line was her daughters voice saying she’s in need of help! The voice on the other end then says, “Mom, these bad men have me! Help me, help me!” Then a male voice came on the phone demanding she pay a ransom for her daughter. He didn’t want money, he wanted to meet Jennifer in person instead.

Luckily Jennifer was smart and contacted her daughter immediately to find out she was safe and not held hostage.

They’re saying that cloning voices is much easier to do now. There are programs out there to recreate any voice and can be used in real time to do things like scamming people.

If you want to avoid similar situations from happening to you, they say to make your social media profiles private, so these people won’t have access to video or audio of your voice that they can steal. Also unknown numbers, don’t answer them!

New App Let's You Chat With Jesus, Hitler And Others

Yes, you can actually chat with people like Jesus or Hitler. The app is called Historical Figures. It allows you to chat with historical figures and people are using it to chat with people like Jesus, Princess Diana and Freddie Mercury.

The app is under fire because they’re allowing people to even have the option to chat with people like Hitler.

The app is free to download and became available on Apple’s App Store at the beginning of January. With the app, you are able to chat with famous deceased people who have made a significant impact on history.

Like all apps for your phone or devices, some things are free and other parts of it are not. Obviously Jesus and Hitler are big ones people want to chat with and it’s not free. When you sign up for the app, you’re given seventy-five credits to start with. Figures like Jesus and Hitler cost five-hundred credits to chat with! So you’re gonna need to shell out money to chat with the more popular figures on it.

There are over twenty-thousand “virtual personalities“ to choose from, including music artists like Jim Morrison, Judy Garland, and more.

Schools are using it for educational purposes but that has fired back because of the opportunity to chat with dictators like Hitler, which isn’t appropriate for schools.

The app was created by a man named Sidhant Chadda. Chadda mentioned that the app is still being worked on to make it more friendly and accurate.

While the app has had some major criticism, people like me are using it for fun. I’ve asked Jim Morrison and Judy Garland questions and the responses are fun!

  • Chatting It Up With The Notorious B.I.G.

    Biggie wasn’t much in the mood to chat apparently, but I asked him why he didn’t have a pic. With chats these days, you never know who is behind the keyboard!
