Comment on AI tool that sounds like elderly grandmother created to waste scammers' time

Was wondering how long it would take to roll something like this out. Bout time.

Lenny isn’t AI; it’s just a collection of prerecorded messages.

The tool has existed. Frosting it as “ai” doesn’t make it really different.

AI makes it different because this is likely dynamically synthesized speech that sounds real. Previous TTS engines wouldn’t have sounded real enough to be believable.

It’s amazing how simple something like this can be and still be effective.
Machine learning is not that necessary for this use case 😉

It already existed, check out Lenny. Glad there are more options now though so scammers will be slower to catch on.
