AI scam calls imitating familiar voices are a growing problem – here's how they work

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I don't remember the exact number but I did see an article recently that said it was videos on social media like you surmised.
And it was a pretty minimal amount of data needed. Definitely not tens of hours. Less than one hour iirc.
The technology has clearly come a long way in a short time, really fascinating.
I remember the first examples I read about being trained with celebrity read audiobooks because they needed so much audio data. I want to say Tom Hanks or Anthony Hopkins but I could have that confused with something else.
Is it safe to assume that if you don't have any family that posts videos to Facebook/socials you are in a safer place?
Make sure to use a fake accent when talking to strangers on the phone
I certainly am hoping so myself.
