Awesome news... one of the best use of AI😊❤

[@cronoz7]

Amazing technology but the potential for abuse is concerning. Scammers will use this to impersonate people. If someone calls you or sends you a voice message that is suspicious, ask them a question only that person can know but the scammer doesn't know.

Unfortunately those scams have already surfaced using another’s voice :( I remember reading an article where a parent was scammed with the voice of their daughter. I agree, always verify if skeptical

Can Extra Cellular Matrix be used to regrow back the damaged/missing tissue?

[@angeliamcphillips2185]

I tried to look up the name of the app that’s shown in the story-But it’s not available in the App Store. Does anyone know where I can download this app? My neighbor had a stork and can’t speak very well at all. I called all over Southeast Texas but everyone keeps trying to give him equipment for deaf people. Someone help!!

Thats so crazy it can do that from just a 15 second voice sample. I have so many videos on KZbin I could be such an easy target for cloning my voice. Idk why anyone would want to though haha

Wish this young lady all the best x makes you realise how lucky i am.

skynet being used for good.

[@evanbrad7327]

Does she have to type in full sentences or does it type for her too somehow???

[@gavinhelgeson2880]

Could have done this over 20 years ago… prime example of “a.I.” being way overused.

[@bipolarcollie]

Science and medical advances are incredible.
