Mark Zuckerberg's scary new AI is 'too dangerous' to make public

Meta boasted Friday that it has produced'the most versatile AI for speech generation' in existence. But it added that the company would not be making their AI model public, due to grave concerns over the advanced tech's'potential risks of misuse.' In recent months, scammers have become adept at employing AI-generated speech to perpetrate eerie and shocking crimes, including an April attempt at faking the kidnapping of a teenage girl in Arizona, terrorizing the young girl's distraught mother with realistic AI-generated pleas. But Meta proposed a variety of more optimistic use cases in their press release, stating that Voicebox could be used to help the visually impaired hear messages from their friends and loved ones, or to allow non-native speakers to play translations of their own words, in their own voice, but in a foreign tongue. Meta called their new Voicebox generative AI model'the most versatile AI for speech generation' in existence.
