Obviously this is pure speculation, but I suspect it'll be a lot like cloning someone's voice. The first systems required the participant to read thousands of lines of text. Now you can do it over a phone call without the participant noticing that you're cloning their voice.

Why would bilingualism be a defense? Try throwing ChatGPT or whatever a line which combines several languages. e.g., If you ask it “¿Quel est the resultado of 四*6.1, in inglese?”, it will probably reply “4 times 6.1 equals 24.4.” AI doesn’t think in words, but expects bits of information to be related to X meaning, and from there it can predict a reply and translate that information into words we understand. I haven’t tried the above line, but if it’s not possible already there’s nothing really stopping us from making it work soon enough.
It is not clear whether this is language dependent or not. If it is, I hope being bilingual or multilingual is a viable defense against this technology.
