We have a new A.I. danger. We are not used to meeting believable impostors online. A.I. can now mimic specific human voices, and compose text which mimics specific human thinking and writing styles. This threatens individual economic security; also national security.

An individual posing as U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly used an AI-generated voice to call high-level officials in what appears to be an attempt to manipulate government officials to obtain access to information or accounts.

The unknown Rubio impostor has so far reportedly contacted at least five government officials: three foreign ministers, one U.S. governor, and one member of Congress, according to a State Department cable obtained by the Washington Post.

Authorities believe the imposter is likely trying to manipulate the high-end officials “with the goal of gaining access to information or accounts,” the July 3 cable sent by Rubio’s office to State Department employees said.

...each one perfectly tailored to fit someone’s worldview.

"Propaganda has always existed. In ancient times, a town crier would climb on a stump and deliver whatever the ruler decreed. But at least everyone heard the same lies. Now we each get custom-fitted delusions, perfectly calibrated to our psychological profile.

"The algorithm has become our leash, and we mistake the length of chain for freedom.

"[Every customized opinion] belongs to someone who considers himself well-informed, rational, and awake to what’s really happening. Each one thinks the others are deluded, manipulated, or evil. Each one has evidence that supports his worldview. Each one feels like the protagonist in his own story.

"They can’t all be right. But they can all be wrong."
