Arr, ye scurvy dogs of the Federal Communications Commission be puttin' an end to them scallywag robocalls made by artificial intelligence! Seems these landlubbers be usin' deepfakes to mimic politicos like President Joe Biden. The FCC be callin' these AI voices "artificial" under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act! Yo ho ho!
In a jolly twist of fate, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has decided to put a stop to those troubling robocalls that use sneaky artificial intelligence (AI) to mimic the voices of political candidates. Arrr! These scallywags were using their AI powers to create deepfake calls that fooled many poor souls, causing quite the stir during the New Hampshire primary last month.Arr, the FCC be a clever bunch indeed, for they have unanimously decreed that these AI-generated voices be classified as "artificial" under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. This means that these villainous robocalls be officially banned, much to the relief of weary voters and politicians alike.
Imagine, me hearties, the audacity of these deepfake calls! Thousands were made with a clone of President Joe Biden's voice, creating quite the hullabaloo. But fear not, for the FCC has come to the rescue, wielding their power to protect us from these treacherous AI voices.
Now, don't ye be thinkin' that this ruling be a mere joke, me hearties. The FCC be serious about this matter, and they be cracking down on those scurvy dogs who dare to use AI to deceive us. The penalties for violating this ruling can be as high as $10,000 per call, so these miscreants best think twice before trying to make a fool of us again.
So raise your glasses, me hearties, and let us toast to the FCC for their swift action against these AI-generated robocalls. No longer shall we be plagued by the voices of imposters. Together, we shall stand strong and protect the integrity of our political process. Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum!"
