CFOs of public companies typically do quarterly earnings conference calls with Wall St. So there's potentially plenty of recordings of their voices using the same kinds of language that it would take to fake something like this.


One of the tradeoffs you make as you move up the ladder is that you increasingly can't be an anonymous person. That may be a good tradeoff or bad depending upon your perspective.


You would think that executives would clone their own voices for the earnings call script readings like a lot of video essay YouTubers do now. But no, they still use terrible conference call systems for earnings calls rather than decent microphones that would be used in a podcast. That could actually be a silver lining here when it comes to creating quality training data.
