Hello and welcome to the Automated, your AI tour guide.
Imagine getting a frantic call from a loved one, begging for help—only to realize it’s not them.
AI voice cloning has become so advanced (and so easy to use) that it can mimic anyone with frightening accuracy. And the worst part? Most of these tools have little to no safeguards. Let’s talk about why that should worry you.

😈 The Scary Truth About AI Voice Cloning Tools.

By now, we all know AI voice cloning is dangerously advanced.
With just a few seconds of audio, these tools can mimic anyone—from your grandma to the President.
And we’ve already seen the damage they can do.
Last year, fake Joe Biden robocalls flooded voters’ phones, urging them not to vote. The mastermind behind it got slapped with a $6 million fine, and AI-generated robocalls were officially banned.
But here’s what we’ve learned: instead of cracking down, or at least tightening security, most AI voice cloning platforms have made these tools even easier to exploit.
A new study tested six major AI voice cloning services, and five of them might as well have left the front door wide open.
All it takes is a short audio clip—maybe from TikTok, YouTube, or even a voicemail—and within seconds, you’ve got a near-perfect clone. No real verification, no serious checks, just a little checkbox that basically says, "Pinky promise you have permission?"
For example, Platforms like ElevenLabs, Speechify, and PlayHT let you upload any audio and instantly generate a voice clone.
Resemble AI at least tried to be responsible by requiring a live recording. However, researchers easily tricked it by playing a pre-recorded clip.
The only service that somewhat held its own? Descript.
That’s because it requires users to record a specific consent statement, which makes it harder to fake—unless, of course, you just clone that voice statement using another AI tool.
And here’s the kicker—most of these tools are either free or ridiculously cheap.
ElevenLabs charges $5 for a custom clone, and Resemble AI? Just $1.
That means for less than the price of a cup of coffee, someone could steal your voice and start making scam calls, dropping deepfake diss tracks, or worse—running political schemes.
Sure, AI voice cloning has legitimate uses, like helping people with disabilities or translating speech into different languages. But it’s also a goldmine for scammers, fraudsters, and misinformation peddlers.
Think about those “Your grandkid is in trouble, send money now” scams—except now, they can sound exactly like your grandkid.
Regulations are practically nonexistent, and safeguards—well, as we’ve seen, they’re mostly a joke.
And as AI keeps advancing, spotting a fake voice will only get harder.
Bottom line: As exciting as this technology is, we need to be just as cautious as we are curious—because it’s moving fast, and not always in the right direction.

♟ OpenAI’s $12B Move on CoreWeave Could Reshape the AI Cloud Wars!

OpenAI just made a billion-dollar power play in the AI cloud computing world.
The company has inked a massive $11.9 billion deal with GPU cloud provider CoreWeave, securing a five-year supply of high-performance compute power.
The deal, first reported by Reuters, includes “$350 million in OpenAI equity for CoreWeave”—separate from CoreWeave’s upcoming IPO.
🚀 Why This Matters:
Before this deal, CoreWeave’s biggest customer was Microsoft, which made up 62% of its $1.9 billion revenue in 2024 (a staggering 8x growth from $229M in 2023).
With OpenAI stepping in as a direct customer, CoreWeave is diversifying beyond Microsoft—a strategic win as it heads toward a potential $4B+ IPO.
Backed by Nvidia (which owns a 6% stake), CoreWeave operates a network of 32 data centers with over 250,000 Nvidia GPUs—including the latest Blackwell AI chips.
This makes it a critical supplier for AI powerhouses like OpenAI, which recently admitted it’s “out of GPUs.”
🔥 Microsoft vs. OpenAI: A Growing Rivalry? This deal is another sign of growing tension between OpenAI and Microsoft.
Microsoft, OpenAI’s biggest backer, has invested billions in the company and gets a share of its revenue.
But as OpenAI gains influence and seeks more independence, the companies are increasingly competing for enterprise AI customers.
Microsoft, for its part, has been building its own AI models, known as MAI, which compete with OpenAI’s GPT models.
It also hired Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind and Inflection AI, as the new head of Microsoft AI—a direct challenge to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
With this deal, OpenAI is not just buying compute power—it’s securing a stake in one of the most important GPU cloud providers.
This means OpenAI will have direct control over a critical AI infrastructure player that Microsoft also relies on.
🔮 What’s Next?
CoreWeave’s IPO: The company is carrying $7.9B in debt and hopes the IPO will raise billions to ease financial pressures.
AI Cloud Wars Heat Up: OpenAI’s move signals it wants more control over its AI infrastructure, which could lead to tighter competition with Microsoft.
Microsoft’s Next Move? Microsoft may double down on its own AI cloud solutions to reduce dependence on third-party providers like CoreWeave.
One thing is clear: the AI chessboard is shifting fast—and OpenAI just made a bold move that could reshape the landscape.
Will this deal give OpenAI the upper hand over Microsoft? Let’s see how the next round plays out.
