It doesn't exist for that express purpose, but the voice and video impersonation is definitely being used to scam elderly people.

Instead of being used to protect us or make our lives easier, it is being used by evildoers to scam the weak and vulnerable. None of the AI believers will do anything about it because it kills their vibe.

And like with the child pornography, the AI companies are engaging in high-octane buck passing more than actually trying to tamp down the problem.
