A manipulated video that mimics the voice of Vice President Kamala Harris saying things she did not say is raising concerns about the power of artificial intelligence to mislead with Election Day about three months away.
The video gained attention after tech billionaire Elon Musk shared it on his social media platform X on Friday evening without explicitly noting it was originally released as parody.
The video uses many of the same visuals as a real ad that Harris, the likely Democratic president nominee, released last week launching her campaign. But the video swaps out the voice-over audio with another voice that convincingly impersonates Harris.
“I, Kamala Harris, am your Democrat candidate for president because Joe Biden finally exposed his senility at the debate,” the voice says in the video. It claims Harris is a “diversity hire” because she is a woman and a person of color, and it says she doesn't know “the first thing about running the country.” The video retains “Harris for President” branding. It also adds in some authentic past clips of Harris.
Mia Ehrenberg, a Harris campaign spokesperson, said in an email to The Associated Press: “We believe the American people want the real freedom, opportunity and security Vice President Harris is offering; not the fake, manipulated lies of Elon Musk and Donald Trump.”
The widely shared video is an example of how lifelike AI-generated images, videos or audio clips have been utilized both to poke fun and to mislead about politics as the United States draws closer to the presidential election. It exposes how, as high-quality AI tools have become far more accessible, there remains a lack of significant federal action so far to regulate their use, leaving rules guiding AI in politics largely to states and social media platforms.

As we all know, Socialists have absolutely NO sense of humor. ;)
You are right on target. And, of course, the left was justified in spreading the fable that Sarah Palin said “I can see Russia from my house” rather than “You can see Russia from Alaska”.
I only saw it once but I didn’t think it was AI. I thought it was just spliced up audio of her saying those words rearranged
Guess I was wrong
Yeah I kinda guessed it was satire at that point but what do I know eh leftists?
Not only that but they are desperate to shame the rest of us into not laughing at what is clearly, objectively-speaking, hilarious.
There are plenty of people who can do a convincing impression of her voice. No AI needed.
And you'd have to be a full retard to not immediately know it's AI.
Musk owns X and can place any content he wants on his platform.
Check the source.
The Demoncrats have been using it for a long time. Just look at the various incarnations of “Joe.”
Yeah, I picked a blurred version of the photo because the real one is just too repulsive. Plus, everyone has seen it already.
.........it’s ABOUT TIME the REpubs outsmarted the marxist’s at their own game!!!
i believe the ending shows Reagan and who made it...
Everyone should be much more concerned about the lack of intelligence of any kind in politics.
Kathy Griffin belongs in prison for threatening violence against the President.
That’s because they’re arrogant spoiled brats who don’t deserve any power or respect.
What a bunch of idiots they are.
They’re only upset because of the social media reach it has. 126 million views in just a few days.
it’s an AP (Associated Press) hit piece and it’s being carried by FakeMSM worldwide.
not being noted by FakeMSM?

13 July 2021: ABC Australia: Nobel prize winner Peter Doherty on navigating COVID-19 and life in lockdown
By health reporter Olivia Willis
It’s hard to think of a more towering figure in the Australian scientific community than Peter Doherty...
When the coronavirus pandemic struck in early 2020, Professor Doherty had been preparing to wind down his commitments at The Doherty Institute.
“I thought I was going to retire,” he says.
“I was 79 years old, I’d just finished our last big NHMRC grant, and I was also working on a book that I’ve been working on for ages.”
Instead, he joined regular meetings with some of Australia’s leading coronavirus experts, and began working on a new book about the pandemic...
For decades, scientists like Professor Doherty have been warning about the threat of a pandemic...
When it was time for Professor Doherty to get the COVID-19 vaccine, he didn’t hesitate.
“I was happy when I got the second one,” he says.
“I would really urge anyone who has had the first AstraZeneca vaccine to go out and get the second.”
Looking ahead to the next 12 months, Professor Doherty says his biggest concern is the possibility of a variant of the virus emerging that current vaccines won’t protect against...
Professor Doherty worries about the virus mutating in such a way that it “subverts the vaccine”, which would require scientists to quickly modify the vaccines...
“What we absolutely need is for people to get vaccinated.
“[Herd immunity] is incremental. If you get 50 per cent of the people vaccinated, you’d worry a lot less about locking down and all that sort of stuff.
“But if we can get 80 per cent vaccinated, I think we’d be in pretty good shape.”
