Given the prevalence of social media platforms where you post videos of yourself, it seems pretty easy to get enough voice sampling to generate a convincing clone. Depending on how much personal info she and her family members put out on social media, it's trivial to connect all the dots to concoct a plausible scenario to scam someone.
Now whether or not it was "just a prank, bro" from family or whomever, I don't know.
All it takes is a three second sample, according to "The AI Dilemma" on YouTube. It's about an hour long, but it has a lot of really good information.
Correct, it does not take much anymore to train up a voice model, especially a hysterical sounding one that would trick a mother. Teens post enough on social media that this could be done
