US Election Hullabaloo: Trump’s AI Dopplegangers and Robotic Telemarketers Unleashed!
“US election controversy: Trump deep fakes and AI robocallers”
“In the final 2024 US election campaign, things got unexpectedly darker. Deep fake technology and robocalls had an alarming effect. The surge of deepfake technology in the closing days of the Trump campaign, in conjunction with AI-powered robocalling, rattled political strategists.” – a harrowing account pulled from DailyAI.
Welcome to the new age where politics, fake news, technological advances, and ethical considerations intersect. And those intersections, unfortunately, don’t involve stop signs or red lights. We’re talking about the final stages of the 2024 US elections – a spectacle that would leave a sci-fi dystopian novel writer chuckling in disbelief.
Setting comedy aside, consider the implications. The Trump campaign incorporated deepfake technology in the eleventh hour of the election campaign, unsettling pollsters and challengers alike. It’s like we’ve all been on this rollercoaster ride, but someone decided to throw in a couple of surprise loops just when we thought it was safe to unclench our hands from the safety bars.
And as if deepfakes weren’t enough of a problem, add robocalls into the mix. Controlled by AI, these are calls that masquerade as trusted individuals or organizations to influence your thoughts and actions. Contacting thousands and thousands of potential voters with a single press of a button? Child’s play for an AI-powered robocaller. So much for the good old ‘knock on doors’ campaigning strategy.
Here’s a thought: Is this the future we signed up for? One where we’re tangled in a web of digital deceit – navigating a minefield of misinformation created by deepfake videos and hyper-efficient robocall campaigns that seem more out of a Black Mirror episode than real life? A world where we have the sum total of human knowledge accessible in our pocket, yet are so easily duped by a phone call or a doctored video – talk about irony!
Alas, the intersection of tech and politics has morphed into a fearsome battleground. As we trudge along this landscape, haunted by deepfakes and robocalls, let’s hope for a future where technology serves us and doesn’t just…bewilder, bamboozle, and more often than not, befuddle us all. Because as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Or something along those lines, right? Perhaps the concept has been deepfaked too.
In conclusion, welcome to the brave new world of deep fake technology and AI-powered robocalls, where elections are not just about policies, debates and ideals but also about the battle for truth in a sea of artificial deception. Buckle up. It’s going to be a wild ride.
