About this listen
You probably didn’t wake up this morning thinking, “I hope I learn something so bizarre today, my brain itches in confusion.” Well, lucky you—I’m here to delight you with precisely that: the tale of the AI Secretary of State impersonator, a news story absolutely no one asked for but the universe delivered anyway.
So, imagine you’re a high-profile diplomat, just sipping your coffee, when suddenly you get a Signal message. It’s from the Secretary of State. That’s prestigious! Except, the Secretary of State apparently now goes by the name Marco Rubio, and, even stranger, he’s using AI to reach out. Yes, the State Department has issued a warning to diplomats because in the past 24 hours, some mysterious tech-savvy prankster has been using artificial intelligence to impersonate Secretary Rubio. This intrepid trickster didn’t just stop at texting—oh, no—they created AI-generated text and voice messages and sent them to some pretty big names. We’re talking at least three foreign ministers, one US governor, and a US lawmaker. This scam had more reach than my last group chat about Tupperware parties.
Now, think about being one of those foreign ministers. You’re probably used to getting calls about treaties, global crises, maybe the occasional invite to a dignified luncheon. Suddenly, you get a message that sounds exactly like Marco Rubio, except he’s talking about international affairs with the emotional depth of a GPS navigation system. I like to picture these officials staring blankly at their phones, wondering if they’ve just been recruited into a very specific improv comedy troupe—or possibly the world’s most boring episode of Black Mirror.
The investigation is ongoing, so we don’t know what the faux Rubio wanted, but I can only imagine the possibilities. Maybe he was pushing for a new international policy on the mandatory use of Crocs at summits, or a UN declaration recognizing pineapple as a vegetable. Anything is possible in a world where the Secretary of State is being cloned by software.
Just to make things weirder, this isn’t even the first time AI’s gotten a little too creative in international affairs recently. Apparently, in the same news rundown, we learned that a drone photographer caught paddleboarders nearly colliding with sharks in a place called Shark Alley, and the TSA ended the “shoes-off” policy, thus finally absolving us from the communal humiliation of airport sock display. There’s also a guy who used his surfboard leash as a tourniquet after a shark bite—humans: adaptable, sometimes edible.
But back to our AI Secretary. This saga raises so many questions. For example, if AI can convincingly impersonate high officials, does it get to have diplomatic immunity? And if not, do we send it to cyber-prison, or just make it listen to elevator music for a century? I’m torn between dread and a kind of admiration—after all, this prankster managed to prank multiple governments. That’s commitment.
So there you have it: today, you learned the world is just a little stranger than you thought, and it’s only getting stranger. Next time your phone buzzes, it could be a spam call, your mom, or maybe Secretary Rubio—if so, please verify he's not a chatbot before you agree to any sudden meetings at Shark Alley.
