I wouldn't think you could wear your sunglasses on a passport or driving license.

• And now imagine hundreds of thousands (100,000s) of SCAMMERS worldwide using A.I. Tools mostly from India having 1.4 Billion people living there ... that are 4 times more people than all people living in the USA!

cheers,

(This humorous approach to a very serious subject is a good way to introduce one's self to a very depressing reality if you are not already aware, that is, just how many scamming crimes are being committed globally today (largely via the Internet), and the alarming rate at which that phenomena is growing.
Scamming has become a part of the business of human slavery as well, as more and more hapless people looking for work are being conscripted into criminal endeavors against their will, and are unable to resist due to threats on their lives.
A large part of the reason that these organized criminal businesses are flourishing is that the victims are too humiliated and ashamed to go public with disclosures about how they were fooled into compliance and/or coerced into becoming active participants.
So the average person is still largely unaware of how serious a situation this is becoming, and how many different forms these various scams can take, which only makes the problem worse. )

My friend's mum got a call from someone/thing with the voice of my friend, asking for emergency money because "she lost her phone". It wasn't my friend though. Leading up to this my friend got a series of strange blank calls where there would be silence and she'd say "Hello? Hello? Is anyone there?" etc. Go figure.

True story.

But if you can't figure it out let me explain: it's likely the strange calls were just an opportunity for a scammer to train an AI to mimic her voice while she spoke into the silence. Then when the scammer rang her mum they used an AI voice tool which transposed the scammers voice in realtime into my friends voice, or otherwise made the AI speak out text they typed using text to speech and the mimic voice. I imagine the scammer was someone who knew them though, but still - this is what scamming is now days.

We are living in science fiction, but not the shiny flying cars version; we get the Mike Pondsmith version with corrupt AI and arson clown cults.
