Comment on Republicans use deepfake video of Chuck Schumer in new attack ad

Comments

Wow that's really devious. My first question was beyond the outrage, was the video good? It did really look like Chuck was sneering at the people and the cut was so quick I didn't know the difference. I looked more closely, and when the video on Twitter was not fullscreen, the video controls blocked the part that said "AI Generated". I had to really look closely to notice that.

The entire platform of republicans have been devious misinformation. Constant lying, every single day.

For the inevitable downvoters - explain your support of lies instead of downvoting.

I'm not a republican or a supporter, but my experience with your request is "But what about...?" Usually something robbed of context, not relevant, or blatantly made up and they don't care. For instance when the GOP Nazi group chat came out, some asked why "The Left" wasn't writing similar articles about people who disrespected Charlie Kirk's death. Malicious bad faith at worst and short sighted ignorance at best.

This is a propaganda tool used to manipulate a populace.

Yep. The bad faith argument is completely normalized by them. It's liar-town. Untrustworthy people.
