   it may be useful to establish a "proof of humanity" word, which your trusted contacts can ask you for, in case they get a strange and urgent voice or video call from you

   this can help assure them they are actually speaking with you, and not a deepfaked/deepcloned version of you

     I say this often, but, with generative AI, scamming has found scalable, product-market fit—and people and companies haven't even begun to realize the consequences. Banks, brokers, insurance cos, etc. should be all over it, and they're way, way behind. Losses and lawsuits ahead.

     More seriously, if you have a material amount of training-ready audio, video, or text in the public domain, this is, sadly, something that you should consider. And it still may not help much, given how many ways there are to route around such non-scaling protections.
