The GOP is all about the Deepfakery that Trump sells on Truth Social. Expect more of it, because the weakest POTUS that the GOP wants reelected is Trump. The 2024 election is poised to be the first election with ads full of images generated by modern Artificial Intelligence software that are meant to look and feel real to voters. Just like bamboo ballots and electors from a parallel universe. Perhaps Trump will send a cartoon A.I. version to the GOP primary debates, since he’s now miffed that no one asked for his approval.
The Republican National Committee responded to President Biden’s re-election announcement Tuesday with an AI-generated video depicting a dystopian version of the future if he is re-elected.
The video features AI-created images appearing to show Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris celebrating at an Election Day party, followed by a series of imagined reports about international and domestic crises that the ad suggests would follow a Biden victory in 2024.
Why it matters: AI-generated images are disrupting art, journalism, and now politics. The 2024 election is poised to be the first election with ads full of images generated by modern Artificial Intelligence software that are meant to look and feel real to voters.
This is the first time the RNC has produced a video that is 100% AI, according to a spokesperson.
Zoom out: A variety of new AI systems such as Midjourney and OpenAI's Dall-E 2 are making it increasingly easy to create digital art and images that are difficult to discern from human-created art and real photographs.
Zoom in: The RNC and other political groups appear likely to use this technology throughout the campaign.
