I doubt any scammer would invest in AI....nor can AI instanly mimic the voices of grandkids...simply has no base data
Tell that to the people who said they were sure they were talking to their grandchild. That scam was on the go for a while but the one on the phone was usually a police officer or lawyer. Yes they would have to have access to the voice to mimic it, but that is not impossible today with so much recordings done.
