I did something like this passing some of my comments here and then prompted Gemini to identify my native language by reading my not-so-good english.

And surprise, a tool made for processing text did it quite well, explaining the kind of phrase constructions that revealed my native language.

So maybe this is a plus for passing any text published on the internet through a slopifier for anonymization?

EDIT: deanonymization -> anonymization

Or vice versa, Indian scammers online can now run their traditional Victorian English phrasing through an AI to sound more authentically American.

Interviewers now have to deal with remote North Korean deepfaked candidates pretending to be Americans.

Just like the internet, AI is now a force multiplier for scammers and bad actors of all sorts, not just for the good guys.

Seems like this could also be used by call centers to realtime adjust their accents. Text is obviously easier to analyze (no realtime required) but I imagine that audio is not that hard to process real time.

Calling for home internet support and getting the person on the other end (in a US Southern or Boston accent) asking you to "do the needfull" could be pretty entertaining :-D

Why bother with accents when you can replace the call support workers alltogether with AI? Isn't that why all AI companies have gorillions in valuation?
