📞 FCC Clones a Fine on Election Scam!
When AI turns rogue, even Biden gets impersonated... well, sort of!
Welcome, AI enthusiasts.
Ever ge​t a pho​ne ca​ll from the President? Well, some folks in New Hampshire thought they did, and boy, was it a doozy!
Here's the scoop on the latest tech prank gone wrong:
Some sneaky prankster decided to play dress-up as President Biden... but with his voice! They used some fancy AI voice-cloning tech to make robocalls, telling people not to vote in the New Hampshire primary. Not cool, right?
Well, the FCC isn't laughing. They're slapping this trickster with a whopping $6 milli​on fine! That's a lot of quarters for the swear jar!
So, who's our mystery voice actor?
Meet Steve Kramer, a political consultant who thought it'd be a hoot to team up with some shady characters known for robocall shenanigans. Talk about picking the wrong friends!
No​w, here's where it gets wild:
These days, anyone with a computer can play voice dress-up. There are websites where you can make Biden (or anyone else) say whatever you want! Creepy, huh?
But don't worry, the FCC is putting its foot down. They've declared these AI voices in robocalls officially illegal. It's like they're telling the robots, "No prank calls allowed!"
So, what do you think? Should we be worried about more fake cele​brity calls? Or is this just another case of technology being faster than the rule book?
One thing's for sure - next time you ge​t a ca​ll from the "President," maybe ask them what their favorite ice cream flavor is, just to be sure! Read More…
