OpenAIannounced a new AI-based audio cloning tool called Voice Engine on Friday.

The ability to change the language someone is speaking is also very cool.
But you cant try it out for yourself just yet.
There are already a number of voice cloning tools available likeElevenLabs, and translators likeRespeecher.
But OpenAI has become a behemoth since it first launched ChatGPT publicly in late 2022.
That, of course, is the double-edged sword of all new technology.
Scam artists will always find a way to exploit emerging tools to bilk people out of their hard-earned cash.
But you dont need to use fake AI-generated voices to scam people.
