Is Elon Musk Trying To Sway An Election With Deepfake Videos?
Recently, Elon Musk retweeted a video of what appears to be Vice President Kamala Harris giving a voiceover in an ad campaign.
The voice in the voice over sounds just like Kamala Harris, but after watching it for a few seconds, something doesn’t ad up.
The video is actually an Ad Parody, and it’s a satirical and semi insulting parody that makes Kamala Harris look like an idiot.
What’s interesting about this is that when Elon Musk retweeted the video, it got 139,000,000 views. What’s more is that Elon Musk broke his own Twitter guidelines by not labeling the video as parody.
Some people argue that the video was a joke and should be seen in that context. Others argue that A.I. deep fake videos are a clear threat to democracy and the information warfare that comes with the territory.
What do you think? Be sure to watch the video and leave a comment.
Love you guys. Talk to you tomorrow.
