My cousin sent me a video of my own voice saying I'd pay for his new phone
I was having a normal Tuesday until my cousin called, super excited about the phone I 'promised' to buy him, and he played back a clip of my voice saying exactly that. I spent the next two hours walking him through the weird mouth blurring in the clip and how the background sound didn't match my kitchen. Ever had someone try to use a deep fake on you personally?

Yeah, my brother tried that with a fake audio clip of me agreeing to loan him money. I made him send me the raw file and pointed out the weird digital glitches in the audio wave when he said the dollar amount. Showed him a real recording of my voice for comparison and the difference was obvious. He finally admitted he used some free app he found online.

Which free app did he use, that's wild lol.

My old roommate used a voice deepfake to try and get my Netflix password. The giveaway was the cadence, it sounded like me but with the weird, flat rhythm of a text-to-speech bot. I had him replay it and counted three identical pauses between words that never happen in real speech.

Disagree on the cadence thing. My cousin got me with a deepfake last year asking for my Hulu login. The voice had my exact speaking rhythm and pauses, it was scary good. The only slip was a tiny metallic ring on hard "k" sounds, like in "account". That's what tipped me off.
