1/ How he Broke Into a Bank Account With an AI-Generated Voice
Well, it turns out that the security of banks' voice authentication systems might not be as secure as they claim.
Who needs a ski mask and a getaway car when you can just break into any bank account with some free AI-generated voices and a laptop?
Joseph Cox, in his recent article on voice, explains how he beats the bank's security system using an AI-generated voice:
He first recorded a 5-minute audio clip of his own voice
He then uploaded it to Eleven Labs, a powerful AI voice replication tool.
Through Eleven Labs He is able to create a synthetic voice that just sounds like him, which helps him break into his bank account by tricking the bank's security system into thinking that it's his voice.
You can see his recent viral tweet down below.
2/ Would you let ChatGPT control your smart home?
Picture this: You come home after a long day at work and feel a little bit like a hot mess.
You ask your voice assistant, "What's the meaning of life?" and it responds with, "I don't know, but I do know how to order you a pizza."
What if your voice assistant could actually understand you better than your best friend? (yeah, that’s a bold statement 😅)
Well, that's what the folks at Josh.ai are working on with their new AI language models. They're taking voice assistants from "Alexa, turn on the lights" to "Hey Josh, I'm feeling a little bit like a sloth today, can you make the house feel cozy and put me “Money Hiest” on Netflix?"
