Trump Baselessly Claims Videos of His Gaffes Were AI-Generated
• Trump claimed on Truth Social that "Artificial Intelligence" was used against him in edited videos of his verbal mistakes shown at a recent hearing • There is no evidence the videos were AI-generated; they were real clips of Trump's gaffes assembled into montages • Trump often promotes alternative "truths" to muddy facts, not because he expects people to fully believe them but to create doubt • AI generating realistic fake videos could enable bad actors to dismiss real videos by claiming they are AI fakes • Trump tried to dismiss the Access Hollywood tape in 2017 as not his voice; he uses similar tactics now to cast all criticism of him as partisan or fake
