Here we find a similar risk to that which realized when the [[w:speaker recognition]] systems turning out to be instrumental in the development of [[#Digital sound-alikes|digital sound-alikes]]. After the knowledge needed to recognize a speaker was [[w:Transfer learning|w:transferred]] into a generative task in 2018 by Google researchers, we no longer cannot effectively determine for English speakers which recording is human in origin and which is from a machine origin.
