Voice Clones

I recently went to my bank with a very specific request. I told them that if any transfers of any kind were to be made, I needed to be physically present. Naturally, they asked why. As a streamer, my voice is available on the internet for hundreds and hundreds of hours. This abundance of voice data makes it incredibly easy for someone to create a simple AI that mimics my voice. Consequently, they could use this cloned voice to call the bank and trick them into transferring my money elsewhere.

I told the bank that they needed to ensure my presence in person for any transactions. Should they transfer any of my money without me being there, they would be held accountable since I had already forewarned them. Thankfully, they agreed to this condition, adding it to my account.

But it's not just my bank. I've implemented the same guidelines with every group I work with outside of the bank. None of them are allowed to conduct any transactions without my physical presence. In an era where cloning someone's voice is incredibly simple, these measures are crucial for safeguarding one's assets.

If you're a streamer, I highly recommend you look into setting similar guidelines. We're at a point where it has never been easier to clone someone's voice, posing significant risks to personal security.
