I don't know. I scrolled through his recent Tweets and he's sharing things like this $900 snake oil device that "finds nearby microphones" and "sends out AI-generated cancellation signals" to make them unable to record your voice : https://x.com/aidaxbaradari/status/2028864606568067491

Try to think for a moment about how a device would "find nearby microphones" or how it would use an AI-generated signal to cancel out your voice at the microphone. This should be setting of BS alarms for anyone.

It seems the Twitter AI edgey poster guy is getting meta-trolled by another company selling fake AI devices

Ultrasound microphone jammers seem to be a real thing, so it's possible it does to some extent work.

Only for specific kinds, like MEMS.

But there's no way to detect microphones automatically, and "AI generated cancellation signals" is a word salad that doesn't mean anything.

What they probably mean is "we asked ChatGPT to tell us what waveform and frequency range to use on MEMS devices and spit out some arduino code."
