“I’m embarrassed to have my name on it.”

While deepfakes were only an immediate threat in the last election cycle, they are almost certain to have a corrosive effect on speech this time around.
AI-generated fakes are not guaranteed to be mistaken for the real thing.Exactly existence The use of AI-generated images and sounds will be used by politicians actually People who are caught saying something stupid or bad have a new excuse. Just blame the embarrassing footage on AI.
No one is more invested in that convenient new reality than Donald Trump, the former president and now a major defendant. Trump has already falsely claimed multiple times that real videos and photos of himself are the product of AI.
Now, the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump political action committee that claimed President Trump used AI to generate unflattering footage of himself, is using footage of Trump’s late father to disparage his son. , and uses AI to flip the script. With malicious attack ads.
The AI-created ghost of Fred Trump, who died in 1999, said, “Donnie, I always knew you were going to fail. I bailed you out so many times. All your deals were garbage.” I couldn’t even make money.” If you leave the casino, you’re fucked. I’m embarrassed that you know my name.”

AI-created Fred Trump continues to lie to his son.
It says, “We all know why women leave you.” “You’re bored and you don’t have any money and you tell me not to get fat. You’re paying porn stars and you’re weak. Your children hate you, especially girls. How did my son become so stupid? “You made the brand I built trash. You’re trash. You’re lucky to stay out of jail.”
ah! On the other hand, these AI-generated attack ads feel nothing close to constructive political dialogue. But on the other hand, at least the Lincoln Project is completely upfront about the fact that it uses AI. It’s different from other debacles, like when an AI-generated voice of Joe Biden was used to robocall voters in New Hampshire, or when a deepfaked voice was made in New Hampshire. A New York City council member was bashing a colleague.
In fact, for the Lincoln Project, this became the core of the bit.
“I’ve been dead for 30 years,” says the AI-generated Fred Trump, “and I’m still ashamed of you.”
