Yeah, I’m hearing of scammers using the tech too… Just a few stories so far, but it’s probably happening more than people realize? I don’t think Eleven Labs or others ever really said how they would stop bad actors other than an honor system… not to mention home-brew tools.
Yeah, this interests me. How tech-savvy was this person.
Clever!
A Brave New World indeed.
Did Gibson or others talk about any of this in early cyberpunk? I wonder…
ETA:
To address your question about whether early cyberpunk literature directly anticipated or discussed technologies like AI-generated audio or deepfakes: No, early cyberpunk writers like William Gibson did not specifically foresee or discuss the creation of AI-generated fake audio or video. Their focus was more on the broader implications of technology and cybernetics on society, identity, and reality, rather than on specific technologies that could generate realistic fake media.
The connection to deepfakes lies more in the thematic overlap—the idea of digital manipulation and its potential impact on society—rather than explicit discussions of technologies that mimic real human outputs like voice or video.
