Magician Claims He Was Paid to Create Controversial Biden Deepfake Robocall in 20 Minutes
-
Paul Carpenter, a magician, claims he was hired by Democratic consultant Steve Kramer to create the AI-generated Biden robocall sent to New Hampshire voters before the primary.
-
The robocall urged thousands not to vote in the primary using a deepfake of Biden's voice.
-
Carpenter says it only took him 20 minutes to make using ElevenLabs software, and he was paid $150.
-
Kramer has not commented publicly yet but said he would publish an op-ed explaining everything.

The robocall led the FCC to ban all AI-generated voices in robocalls, considering them "artificial voices."
