Maybe we'll need a new specialized law enforcement agency like the Postal Inspectors to deal with the inevitable wave of AI-assisted crime.
I suppose if we approach the point that we can create robotic clones of anyone, anywhere, that look, sound, and move like anyone on the planet, that will be just like the post office too, right?
The analogy for this technology would be a robot that can perfectly imitate someone's handwriting and vocabulary using one letter as a reference.
Sure, this is marketed as generating your own voice to read scripts for you YouTube channel, but are they actually verifying who's voice you're generating?
Try to deceive people by learning about their contacts, writing a convincing letter and sending it. How long does it take you to prepare one letter?
Now those AIs potentially allow you to just generate millions of those with one click. The problem is the scale: everyone can do it at no cost and at scale.
