In more detail
Some tools need only a short clip to produce a convincing copy. It is used for dubbing, restoring the voices of people who have lost the ability to speak, and letting creators produce narration quickly.
It is also used in scams, such as fake calls from a “relative” asking for money. Reputable tools require consent, and it’s worth agreeing a family code word for emergencies. See deepfake.
