Voice cloning of political figures is still easy as pie

The Center for Countering Digital Hate looked at 6 different AI-powered voice cloning services: Invideo AI, Veed, ElevenLabs, Speechify, Descript, and PlayHT. For each, they attempted to make the service clone the voices of eight major political figures and generate five false statements in each voice.

One service even helped out by generating the script for the disinformation itself!
