Yeah because they’re handling the most prevalent threat of SMS-phishing SOOOO well…
Dealing with cloned voices should inevitably lead to rolling up spoofing and sms fishing in the bargain.
I suspect this will happen once enough rich folks lose money for it to be Officially Noticed.
To me, this seems like it will be yet another bandaid fix. Hoping for your solution but expecting mine ultimately, and unfortunately.
it turns out you can do different effective things out of sequence
No shit, thanks for the snarky comment but ig this is the kind of attention you wanted so here it is
The argument I was making was that SMS phishing has extremely high rates for hitting the majority of the population. Ai-powered phishing could be pretty dangerous but it’s got a higher barrier of entry for fraudsters.
That means limited real-world prevalence at this moment and an unaddressed commonality which is dangerous to most American people.
thanks for the weird aggression and utterly mid take but ig this is the kind of attention you wanted so fuck off
