Many of us have our voice out there ready to be downloaded, placed into machine learning or whatnot and used to call our family and friends pretending to be us in random need of money.
And people ask me why I stay anonymous.

There are so many cases of people that send moneu to 'their kids' (which were actually) scammers when they got contacted by a new number via WhatsApp saying: "Hey dad, I have a new number, can I ask you a favour?".
With voice spoofing this will only get worse.
There are known cases of companies that fell victim of this already.
And it will surely be targetted to end users too. I worry most for the kids and elderly in this case.
A way to weapon them against these attacks is to agree about a 'code' only you know. Your loved ones could ask for this code whem they doubt that it is you they are speaking to.
Well, my online footprint is far too big to hide. I used to be a working musician, released music and all.
Cat's out of the bag. But your point stands. They could easily make AI clones of me.
