Anyone know how many hours of training data it takes to build up a convincing model of someone’s voice? It was 10’s of hours when I did a bit of research a year ago… the article says social media is the likely source of training data for these scams, but that seems unlikely at this point.

TorToiSe can work off of just three ten second clips when you're using a pre-trained model. No telling if that'll sound any good.

I’ll have to check that out, thanks for the link.

The most advanced Model I know just needs half an hour of your voice or sth.

Someone else mentioned that Microsoft has one capable of working with far less material.

But 30 minutes is definitely short enough to make this sort of scam/attack feasible in my mind.
