Republicans are flooding social media with AI generated videos featuring fictitious people all saying verbatim talking points.

Please remember. The Republicans are gone. The Corruptlicans ran them out of their Party.

You know, their Party, the GOrP. The Groveling for Orban Party.

It's notable that the fake women in the clip almost without exception are saying nothing. Only 1 of them speaks the script, while all of the men do.

@mattsheffield Republicans generally think of women as objects & possessions, usually those don't talk

[normjess@tech.lgbt]

@mattsheffield I think its interesting the right tries to create the illusion that large numbers of educated women lean right when the exact opposite is the case

[mattsheffield@mastodon.social]

@normjess Yes, and they do this with every single group out there. "Gays for Trump," "Blacks for Trump"...

Rather than listen to people who are not corporate oligarchs or Christian fundamentalists, they have always put forward tokens. Now, they don't even need to be real.

@mattsheffield The Guardians of Pedophiles say we're deranged? When they're the ones using AI slop generators and bots to prop up a fake electorate that generates fake support for their fake reality?!

[liquid@infosec.exchange]

@mattsheffield Social media in all forms should be abolished now that AI exists

[missgayle@urbanists.social]

@mattsheffield

Yeah, and I can find rats in every state, too, but that doesn't mean that all the rats everywhere are going to vote for cheeto. Just saying.

@mattsheffield #Republican #AI avatars are most certainly united.

Here's one of the other Times clips.

This is literally Fox News 2.0. But instead of paid propagandists who don't represent the views of younger women, the goal is to completely replace women.

[joehenzi@social.vivaldi.net]

@mattsheffield It's so badly done!

@mattsheffield I guess I will keep scrolling ...

Flashback to Sinclair Broadcast Group doing this with real people across its multi-billion-dollar network of TV stations. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/apr/02/sinclair-trump-video-script-fake-news-president-defends-tv-news-twitter

[lawyersgunsnmoney@mstdn.social]

@mattsheffield I remember Sinclair doing this - making all the anchors read from the same script. I was astonished at the time.

[mattsheffield@mastodon.social]

@keira_reckons The videos are completely made up. The uniform details are all wrong. You also cannot make political statements in uniform or record on base in most cases.

[jmcrookston@mastodon.social]

@mattsheffield oh

Wow. Yet, I'm not surprised.

Anything that Republicans say other people are doing, they are doing. It's all projection.

[disorderlyf@todon.eu]

@mattsheffield Interesting how all of these women look like amalgamations of the same three women, and also how unnatural the stance, inflection in the speech, quality of the audio and background details are.

[mattsheffield@mastodon.social]

These videos are the fuller developed version of the fake Instagram Trump fan "Jessica Foster" which was used to support him and also sell foot fetish content https://www.fastcompany.com/91507096/jessica-foster-popular-maga-influencer-ai-model

Nah, Americans wouldn’t be stupid enough to follow an empty suite (or a tank top) spewing idiotic ideas.
Or would they …

Most nights, our local Sinclair station pauses to show a live look at the White House. It's weird.
