AI Deepfakes Hit Mainstream Politics—Here's What Changed



Trump just made history: he's the first U.S. president to weaponize AI-generated deepfakes in political communication. The examples? Tossing a football around the Oval Office, lounging with a cocktail in Gaza, launching attacks from a fighter jet cockpit. Each one's pure fabrication, yet perfectly timed for viral reach.

It's not just about the novelty factor. This marks a turning point for how political messaging evolves in the AI era. When deepfake technology becomes a standard PR tool at the highest levels of governance, we're entering uncharted territory. The tech isn't new—but its normalization in mainstream politics? That's the real story.

nah wait, let me check the math on this narrative... so we're treating deepfakes as some kind of breakthrough? tbh the real story is how normalized the *acceptance* became, not the tech itself. saw this exact pattern in 2021 with NFT grifts—everyone focused on the novelty while the actual infrastructure stayed fundamentally flawed. that's where i'd be auditing.

Wow, they're already using fake videos as promotional tools? There's really no bottom in politics.
