A senior Trump advisor shared a video that seems to show an NBC reporter badmouthing Republican presidential candidates. It appears AI was used to imitate the reporter’s voice.

    Also works both ways making it even worse. Actually catch someone saying something abhorrent on a hot mic? It was AI, I swear.

      Not sure if it’s an even fight. There’s actual video of Trump saying any number of disgusting (or even non-republican things, like that time he proposed to take people’s guns without due process), and it’s not affecting his support.

        Yeah, in the specific case of Trump. Someone much more savvy at not screwing up/not getting caught is bound to use the excuse successfully eventually.

        That’s what happens when you let the already rich and powerful control the entire system: they get away with anything up to and including “shooting a guy in the middle of Fifth Avenue”.

      works both ways

      No way. On one side you have a crazed cult of emotionally driven, “poorly educated”, violent dolts who refuse the truth while seeking any possible outrage against their non-crazy “enemies”.

        They didn’t say “both sides”. They’re saying that a flood of AI bullshit also makes real information harder to trust, which is true.
