- Donald Trump posted a video of Ron DeSantis on Wednesday featuring voice clone AI.
- A playful parody shows DeSantis and Elon Musk talking to the devil and Adolf Hitler.
- This is the latest sign of AI being used as a political weapon, and perhaps the most prominent sign yet.
The 2024 showdown between Trump and DeSantis officially kicked off Wednesday night, with artificial intelligence trickling into the middle of the political fray.
The Truth About Gov. Ron DeSantis’ 2024 Election Campaign Start-Hurting About a Dozen Posts Posted in Social Violent Attack, Former President Donald Trump Featuring Conversations Apparently Voice Cloned AI Introduced I reposted the video.
This isn’t the first time President Trump has posted AI-generated content. But the two-minute video, which was uploaded to a private Rumble account, is the latest sign that AI is creeping into the political sphere as a tool to guide narratives and attack opponents, and perhaps the most likely ever. That’s the most obvious sign.
This video is a parody of DeSantis’ glitch-plagued Twitter Spaces launch.
Both the governor of Florida and Elon Musk are listed alongside billionaire George Soros, World Economic Forum chairman Klaus Schwab, and former Vice President Dick B. Featuring Cheney et al. It’s clear from the start that it’s a parody, with characters like Adolf Hitler, the Devil, and the FBI.
“Hello everyone. Welcome to Ron DeSantis’ Twitter space,” Musk said in the clip.
“Hello? Is my mic working properly?” Soros’ voice is interrupted.
What follows is a chaotic blend of old audio, new voice lines spoken by unknown characters, and AI-generated dialogue that sounds eerie like the people being mimicked.
“I’m going to announce it, so everyone shut up, okay?” says DeSantis’ voice.
“Can you shut up now? I’m running for president, okay?” his voice added later.
“Yeah, we already knew,” everyone replies.
The AI cloned Musk’s voice even mimics his speech patterns.
“Um, uh, FBI folks, this is not a private call. This is a public Twitter space. Everyone can hear,” said a voice at one point.
The clip concludes with President Trump’s voice.
“Hold your horse, Elon! The real president is going to say a few words. Satan, I’ll kick you in the butt right away. Hitler, you’re dead. Dick Cheney, you’re in.” “Hitler is coming,” said the voice.
“Klaus Schwab and George Soros, I’ll put both of your asses in jail. And Ron DeSanctimonias could kiss my big beautiful 2024 presidential ass. 2024 Trump baby, let’s go,” Trump’s voice continues.
The clip features President Trump, President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, former President George W. Bush, and former President Bill Clinton calling each other bad words about “Call of Duty.” Reminiscent of the AI-generated “Game President” meme. “Overwatch” and “Fortnite”.
Joe Rogan and Musk also occasionally appear in such memes.
But Trump’s newly reposted Twitter Spaces parody comes at a time when politicians around the world are slowly starting to use AI to serve their own ends. In April, the Republican National Committee released an ad attacking Biden using an AI-generated image.
New Zealand’s centre-right National Party has also posted AI-generated images on Instagram, ranging from a photo of two nurses to a bizarre version of the Fast and Furious poster.
National Party leader Christopher Luxon said the party is using AI to create “stock images” for social media, according to the New Zealand Herald.
Trump himself also shared a clip on May 11 that used voice-cloning AI. The article featured CNN anchor Anderson Cooper saying the former president was “bashing us with a new asshole here on CNN’s presidential town hall live.”
The global focus on generative AI has raised concerns among cybersecurity and technology experts that it could distort the truth and mislead voters if used for political gain. increase.
President Trump’s DeSantis parody is clearly a joke, clearly a joke, but believing fake images and videos can have immediate consequences. The stock market fell on Monday after a fake photo of the Pentagon exploding, suspected to be at least partially AI-generated.
A Trump spokesman did not immediately respond to an insider’s request for comment sent outside of normal business hours.
