Not saying it is happening, it just occurred to me that it could
Look-alikes and doppelgangers have been around for longer than AI has, and so have conspiracy theories about famous people being replaced by body doubles. They could replace a famous person with AI, but a body double would probably be more convincing since they could still make public appearances.
In reference to the US president. I don’t even think AI could recreate the stupid shit the orange pedophile spews out of his face asshole everyday, it wouldn’t be believable…
Hell, when his tweets are concise and to the point, I already assume it isn’t him.
I said half-jokingly to my grandmother today that if I see Trump say anything good, I’ll assume it’s AI
I already saw that he was attending some Supreme Court stuff and thought it was an April Fools joke.
I’ve played with multiple LLMs trying to recreate his speech patterns and yeah… I haven’t seen anything satisfactory, they’re all too coherent.
With ai. You needed to look out for extra fingers. With trump, just look for normal size fingers.
Plus he looks sickly lately, I think they’d make him look better if it were AI created videos
Trump would actually be super easy for AI, barely an inconvenience. All the glitchy mistakes and hallucinations have been staples of the real Trump from long before computers were in common use.
But could it work with other, less insane presidents like… Um… Sánchez?
Real life AneurysmPosting every time he opens his mouth.
trump already is in large part a virtual president. There were entire weeks last year were he disappeared from the public and only posted one video of him speaking in the oval office which was AI generated. Most of his tweets and posts are written by someone else imo, like the “thank you for you attention in this matter” ones, way too coreherent and matter of facty and dry
also noone has seen the new Ayatollah in weeks
If I got promoted to the job of “guy who gets assassinated by America” you wouldn’t see me until $500/barrel
that’s a good point. what I’m trying to get at is, the part that “leadership” plays in organizations is vastly overstated and often times non existant.
Another example Belgium went without government for over 2 years once
Sounds nice, more people should try it!
He still has quite a few hours to die and make hilarious headlines today the 1st of April.
Yeah, if he dies today people won’t know whether to believe it. He’s supposed to make a speech tonight, imagine if instead someone comes on tv and announces he just died
I honestly wouldn’t know how to feel. Yay? But is it real? I hate getting my hopes up.
We were the April fools this year. Got our hopes up and he didn’t shit his pants and/or die on live TV.
Yep have you seen the Netanyahu is dead conspiracy theory several weeks ago?
I think even AI has better verbal abilities than that orange fuck.
Netanyahu literally a couple of weeks ago, and I still think people believe
he’s deadwas injuredWas he not injured? Why did they do the weird AI shit?
Testing public perception to see if they can pull it off, maybe.
The president of what?
Anything really
Puerto Rico
Not familiar with it.
They’d need to ensure the cooperation of the VP, who could otherwise become president by exposing the scheme.
He would want to wait until the halfway point in Trump’s term so he can have 2.5 terms total.
Anticipating this, the people controlling the AI would wait until just before the halfway point, then put out a statement from the “president” declaring the VP a traitor and demanding Congress impeach him. If the VP tried to expose the AI after that, it would be dismissed as an attempt at retribution.
Not too hard to get VP couchfucker’s full cooperation.
I doubt it. The only reason for him to cooperate is because he can be elected for two more terms if he becomes president after January '27. Tbh, I think he’s as power hungry as Trump himself, and I wouldn’t bet against him going after Trump’s kids (with all their corruption) if he were to become president suddenly.
I mean, he wouldn’t be doing it because he personally wants to. It would be one of his masters dictating it to him.
Yeah, a lot of people would need to be on the conspiracy, which is another reason to doubt it’s happening. But I could see it happening eventually
Can’t AI in the analogue.
Nah thered be too much risk of an ai system making some kind of sense.
Yep. AI Trump will probably be the fake Antichrist in their performative Armageddon.
I had to think a couple of minutes who the current president is, and I’m one of those freaks who reads the news. So yeah, no one will notice.
His psycho fanbase will refuse to believe reports of his death anyway.
Similar to those that think Elvis is still alive?
And Hitler
But even if those conspiracy theories were true, surely he’d be dead by now
Which is weird, because that would make him 91 today.
Even if he hadn’t died in '77, the way his weight was going, I doubt he’d have made it to 80 anyways.
No need to over-engineer it. 4-year olds work for juice. That’s gotta be cheaper than AI tokens.
