The Galaxy will be able to clone your voice to answer calls

Google’s call screen is also capable of automatically answering calls, albeit through a series of responses it offers by default; a function available in Europe. Samsung’s solution is a bit different: clone user’s voice to customize response as you wish.

Samsung is preparing this great novelty for its Galaxy shortly after Apple introduced “Live Voice Mail” in iOS 17, a service that will allow you to see the real-time transcription of voicemail messages received during a call. The big difference in the Korean manufacturer’s solution is that will clone the user’s voice to answer by itself

And it is that just yesterday Samsung announced this new feature for its Bixby assistant. The goal is to be able type a message for the cloned voice to reply to it, and thus simulate the answer that anyone could do. An excellent idea, but which can have its complications in certain contexts.

Currently, this feature is only available in Korea as an app called Bixby Custom Voice Creator. for Galaxy S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra. Voice cloning is based on a technology that is progressing tremendously, and even this year’s AI has taken giant steps so that it can become a reality for any user with their phone.

Answer SMS calls It’s not that it’s something entirely new for the Korean manufacturer., since Samsung devices from One UI 5 have the option to do so via Bixby Text Call. It first came in Korean so it’s now available in English, though in Spanish it’s unclear if it will be available at some point.

The Google Call Screen has already been mentioned, which allows you to do the same, although the answers are already predefined. In other words, big tech companies are already develop systems that initially do not yet offer a full experience, but with the advent of ChatGPT, which used in conjunction with a function like the new one from Samsung, will allow you to be almost in front of a conversation in which a person’s voice is imitated. Indeed, according to The edge

Tech companies have already promised that AI assistants will be able to relieve the user of the task of answering an unwanted call, and thanks to ChatGPT-like chatbots, the future is getting closer. The problem is that this type of technology could be used to maliciously substitute the person for all sorts of purposes. Of course, when a voice cue is complete, confusion will still be there as to whether you’re really talking to a human or a chatbot.
