Adobe had (never released, demo’d in 2016) software that can do it from existing samples of a person’s speech. Like an audio deepfake, in real-time on a desktop. Was called Voco and was part of Audition.

Someone’s probably got something similar out there.

Imagine calling his bank? "Yes of course I'm the real slim sh...i mean frank oglesby. You think I'm some AI replication?"
