Magician Reveals He Was Paid to Create Fake Biden Robocall with AI
• A magician named Paul Carpenter says he was paid $150 by a Democratic consultant, Steve Kramer, to use AI to create a fake Biden robocall that is under investigation.
• Carpenter showed how he made the Biden audio in under 20 minutes for just $1 using the AI platform Eleven Labs, demonstrating how easy it is to manipulate audio with new technology.
• Steve Kramer has worked on numerous major Democratic campaigns and was paid over $250,000 by Minnesota congressman Dean Phillips' campaign for ballot access work.
• The fake Biden robocall reached up to 25,000 New Hampshire voters right before the primary, telling them not to vote, and is being investigated by state and federal authorities.
• Carpenter says he regrets his involvement and wants to warn people about the dangers of realistic fake audio created by AI that can easily mislead voters.
