I think it's fair to say we're now well into the age of AI-generated misinformation. Hopefully people aren't casting their vote based on internet photos.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Simply saying something is true is enough for Trump voters. They don’t need doctored evidence.
You're half correct.
If it's positive, it's true.
If it's negative, it's fake news.
Meta
That comment was so meta.
"Well into" as in no denying it. We are just seeing the start of its impact, though. I predict it's gonna be a rough decade on that front.
I feel sorry for the kids. Having to grow up into this. I'm so sorry. Most of us at least had a childhood that was still rooted in actual reality, not this fucked up hyperreality. They were born into it.
Ya misinformation sucks, but half of the people are below average intelligence. We need further laws to prevent the spread. The lawsuit against Fox was a good start
Unfortunately it adds up. Say a lie enough it becomes real kind of thing
Look at the eyes and fingers - if something strikes you as wrong, take a working of wrought iron and shove it through your screen with haste
We're nearing the point where the fbi can show up at your door and arrest you for robbing fort Knox, and they'll have videos and photos and AI generated witness testimonies.
Enjoy it while its clumsy and obvious.
This is probably their way of slowly inoculating us, soon they will perfect the fingers and other background details and AI will be indiscernable to the casual observer.
lol. Trump has flipper hands and that guy’s hat is total AI gibberish.
dat hand on the bottom left tho.
That nubbin.
Remember, this is the worst that AI will be from now on.
You’re right - everyone knows real trumpers would wear good old fashioned human gibberish hats.

if nothing else, this is a dead giveaway
Lol also look at the fingers. One of what looks like should be his hand is clearly a woman's hand, and another has a mini finger and oddly shaped one

Even AI gave him tiny hands
Is that Cosby in the back with the Santa hat?
Rapists of a feather flock together
So it might be real after all. Huh.

You can tell they’re fake by looking at his hands.
The algos struggle with tiny hands.
Unfortunately, as ControlNet (https://rentry.org/dummycontrolnet) gets better, it's going to get a whole lot harder to distinguish the fakes. It's already pretty good, but a lot of people don't use it regularly because it adds even more processing time to an already time consuming process. Faster hardware and better optimised code will cut that tiime down. The future is going to get messy.
Agreed.
But that’s no reason to not make fun of trump’s hands.
Too true!
Yeah one hand looks like a zoidberg claw but with a tiny dick for a pinky. The other has a massive coke nail. That one might be real.
Text on the hat and shirt are garbled nonsense, too. Also, Trump's hands are too big.
The lady on the right also as a weirdly white patch of of skin where his fingers are.
Would be a shame if people made AI photos of Trump with brownshirt Nazis...
na-uh you are in the wrong hat, Trump hugging "commies" and holding a lgbtq flag would be the correct approach
Giving a trans kid a medal 🥇
I like the way you think. Maybe kissing another man?
There's already real video of Trump and Giuliani kissing and more than a few elected GOPs have drag photos. It's very much a rules for thee not for me type of thing.
RELEASE THE PEE TAPES
Wouldn't work anyway. He's been photographed with all kinds of terrible people in real life.
Yes, but has he been photographed performing a "satanic ritual?"
He'd never do anything that cool
Cool you say? "Cool" is the exact sort of thing Conservatives hate!
That'd excite his base
Ai generated images are always bad at fingers and complete gibberish when it text or words. Dead giveaway....
Trump supporters combined with the notion of any form of intelligence, artificial or not, is a contradiction.
