I'm guessing this will lead to some sort of global identification system, so we know for sure someone isn't AI.

When I was in elementary school the police came and fingerprinted us all... you know, for education about the police system or some crap like that. I imagine in the future they'll come and take moulds of your kids vocal chords.

or nothing changes, like with Social Security numbers being inherently insecure and used for reasons outside of their use case, and we just live with that

Imagine the decrease in social media volume if users could filter by "real human only, USA."

This would single-handedly solve unemployment!

that already exists, it's called "don't have important conversations on your personal mobile phone, the US government spends tens of billions of years on communications security for this exact reason."

One can dream. Photoshop didn’t inspire a global photo authenticity verification system.

If this attack worked, voice impressionists would have been used already. I doubt this will be even a little effective except to drum up anti-AI panic, which it will probably do well.

There overlap between people who sound like Marco Rubio and want to commit espionage is probably small. That is no longer a barrier.

This attack works all the time, look at the "grandma I need $1k to be bailed out of jail" scam.
bananapub•1h ago
amongst the reasons that the US government spent a bajillion dollars on the world's most secure communications system is to prevent exactly this sort of thing.

the fact that the entire federal government is run by deeply fucking stupid people who are not at all interested in the security of the state is the problem here, for once the AI vendors are not the problem.
