Could you build this?
No Adversarially perturbing real-time human audio to remain intelligible to humans while breaking automatic speech recognition models requires deep acoustic DSP and ML adversarial research.
What it would actually take: The system requires a low-latency virtual audio driver (CoreAudio/WASAPI) running real-time digital signal processing. The core challenge is generating psychoacoustic or gradient-based adversarial audio perturbations against diverse ASR architectures (Whisper, Conformer, wav2vec) under strict latency budgets (<50ms) while retaining perceptual speech quality for human listeners.
