Did Charlie Kirk tweet that? If so, I’d believe it’s 100% for real and they’re trying to get out in front of it. Like many posters below point out, his base won’t care.
I would just as rather believe that the whole thing is a right-wing plan:
Get conservatives to harp about an incoming deepfake.
Get liberals thinking talking about it, condemning Trump for something they haven’t even seen yet.
Release a video, that actually is a deepfake, a deepfake created BY conservatives.
The deepfake is quickly discovered, and conservatives accuse liberals of trying to frame Trump for sexual assault.
I have a hard time discerning if Kirk knows this, or if he’s just projecting after the Swift AI nonsense.
The tweet is vague. We’ve seen ai been used already in this election to spread misinformation, so it’s saying Democrats might do so could refer to literally anything.
But when put in the context of this supposed tape, it dishonestly makes it sound like they are talking about it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d be happily wrong about this, but this is literally nothing right now.
