Jennifer DeStefano, from Arizona, picked up the phone from an unknown number and heard "sobbing" from what she believed to be her 15-year-old daughter, Brie.  "It was 100 percent his voice," DeStefano said. "I never thought about who this is. It was all her voice, her tone, the way she cried; I didn't doubt for a second that it was him. That was the weird part that really struck me."

Scammers asked for money from the mother which shook the woman really hard. This situation also raised some questions regarding how AI affects our lives. It can create wonders and also cause bad things as well. The results can be scary and in the future what AI can do is limitless.
