One country was already setting up copyright on your voice so AI can be served takedown notices. Voice are quite unique, its how my bank verifies who I am. If somebody clones my voice via AI it could fool that login system

    I work for a huge bank and we tested voice recognition technology: Even under the best circumstances (high quality microphone with no ambient noise in a sound booth), it was far, far too easy to copy someone else's voice by simply playing back a sliced up recording a la Sneakers (the movie). We ruled it out as an option over a decade ago.

    The problem was fundamental and had nothing to do with the quality of the technology. If your bank is using your voice as a unique identifier they had better be using something else in addition to it! Because it's super insecure.

    There are other criteria like account number, etc. But the voice they ask you specific question live. But I get it. Thats why I have a hardware key for platforms that support it.

    Your bank is run by fucking morons if they've allowed voice verification at any point after ~2 years ago.

    It's a kind of profound, logarithmic stupidity that increases exponentially every day as voice cloning technology gets better and better.

    They are fucking stupid and don't give one minuscule fuck about the security of your account.

    Well yes they are a bank. Lol. I moved regular accounts to a credit union because I was sick of the bank's problems. But still have a disability retirement fund with the bank because its a special government account for my child.
