Amid the Cambrian explosion of AI-powered tools, voice cloning has become extremely advanced with names such as ElevenLabs and Resemble.ai.
The impressive technology is also a cause for alarm due to potential misuses (such as disinformation and impersonation scams).
Earlier, U.Today reported that a new XRP scam copying the voice of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse emerged on social media.
