A security firm says deepfaked audio is being used to steal millions of pounds.

And they had used background noise to cleverly mask the least convincing syllables and words.Dr Alexander Adam, a data scientist at AI specialist Faculty, said it would take a substantial investment of time and money to produce good audio fakes."This is because you need a lot of compute power and the human ear is very sensitive to a wide range of frequencies, so getting the model to sound truly realistic takes a lot of time.

Typically, he said, hours of good quality audio was needed to help capture the rhythms and intonation of a target's speech patterns.

Makes life in possible because you scared to leave voice mail messages.Never really know who your texting or talking with. Its really distressing .

Careful. 3 phone calls this wk saying internet/phone 2 be cut off. Wanted acct details etc. SCAM! Checked with BT

Freelance sites are being used to build audio archives. Paying 'voice over artists' tiny amounts of money to read a huge catalogue of words and phrases while giving consent for the purchaser to do pretty much whatever they want with the audio. Scary.

That’s why when u rob a place always use a fake voice. They’ll never be able to identify you. Bonnie and Clyde forgot once and look what happened.
