Peter Butler, a user on TikTok known as @voycebutler3, recently shared a harrowing experience from his home in Houston, Texas, that highlights just how dangerous AI voice cloning has become. In a video that has racked up 17.8 million views, he explained a situation that he believes should serve as a massive wake-up call for every parent.
Butler said that one evening, at 6:00 PM, he was in his kitchen while his daughter was in the next room using her iPad. Everything seemed perfectly normal until he heard her say, “Okay, Dad, I’m coming right there.” Confused, Butler walked into the room and asked, “Come where? I asked her who are you talking to?” His daughter looked at him in confusion and said, “You just called me.” Butler insisted he hadn’t, but she was adamant. “Yes, you did. On FaceTime audio.”
