Welcome, AI enthusiasts.

Ever get a phone call from the President? Well, some folks in New Hampshire thought they did, and boy, was it a doozy!

Here's the scoop on the latest tech prank gone wrong:

Some sneaky prankster decided to play dress-up as President Biden... but with his voice! They used some fancy AI voice-cloning tech to make robocalls, telling people not to vote in the New Hampshire primary. Not cool, right?

Well, the FCC isn't laughing. They're slapping this trickster with a whopping $6 million fine! That's a lot of quarters for the swear jar!

So, who's our mystery voice actor?

Now, here's where it gets wild:

These days, anyone with a computer can play voice dress-up. There are websites where you can make Biden (or anyone else) say whatever you want! Creepy, huh?

But don't worry, the FCC is putting its foot down. They've declared these AI voices in robocalls officially illegal. It's like they're telling the robots, "No prank calls allowed!"

So, what do you think? Should we be worried about more fake celebrity calls? Or is this just another case of technology being faster than the rule book?
