🔥😼 My 9-year-old nephew just taught me about AI scams. Do kids know more about it than grown ups?

Hey, I'm Nastassia, head of content at isFake.ai. Yesterday and my 9-year-old nephew called me to say:

"If someone calls crying like me, don't believe it. Ask the secret word. It's probably AI."

I... what?

A third-grader is teaching ME about vishing?

But then I talked to other parents and turns out this is not rare. Kids are warning parents not to trust phone calls. They understand that realistic is not real because they grew up with AI TikTok voices and deepfake memes. But their parents (aka us) still think "if it sounds like my kid, it IS my kid."

We built our AI voice checker because we kept hearing stories like this. Families need tools that work faster than scammers. Our AI detection takes 10-30 seconds and requires zero technical knowledge.

Have your kids (or younger colleagues) ever warned you about something online that you didn't take seriously at first?

Right now, listening to the youngest voices in the room might be the smartest defense we have

Fake voice messages are called vishing (like phishing) And Fake knows it, cause he recieved this one from Kanye West. The full episode on our YouTube

Notes from🔥 Is & 😼 Fake:

Not gonna lie, getting cyber-schooled by a 9-year-old hits different when you build security tools for a living. 😅have YOUR kids ever warned you about something online that you brushed off at first?
