FCC to declare AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal under existing law (arstechnica.com)

Robocalls with AI voices to be regulated under Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the agency says. I'm pretty sure this puts us on the timeline where we eventually get incredible, futuristic tech, but computers and robots still sound mechanical and fake.

How about this: if I get a robocall advertising a product/service or a politician's campaign I get that product or service for FREE and if it's for a politician they lose $25k from their pac or Superfund for each report (which gets donated to their opponent)?

yeah then you'll have even more GOC money funding fake "Democratic Party" robocalls.

Yea except if we have a publishable reporting system (for robocalls, like the ones you're making up rn) it won't work like that will it? Being that the concept changes the status quo... This isn't super difficult to figure out if you try ;)
