Funny thing is, this is approximately where CIA was with similar technology in closer to 2000. They did some demos for politicians about how they can given anyone's fake their messages. That stuff is golden for propaganda means, and for confusing stuff like military chains of command. Today the CIA probably has worked out all the robotic artifacts already, and their output is really indistinguishable.

Not OP, but here is one related source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/dotmil/arkin02...

I do not think the technology involved artificially generated voice though, but simply morphing someone's voice into sounding as the target voice.

NNets just recently got really good. You are correct though, politicians would love this.

I believe technology would make a Judge's life really hard.

Clearly the solution is to employ a GAN, so that we simultaneously get artificial voices that are indistinguishable to the human ear, as well as judges that are able to reliably distinguish them.
