Supporters circulate fake AI image of Trump wading thru flood waters in Georgia

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

 

Another example reason on why there should be regulations restricting the posting of fake content to social media:

Image of Donald Trump wading through flood water is AI-generated | Fact check

A Sept. 30 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) appears to show former President Donald Trump walking through a flooded street while wearing an orange life vest.

...

The post was shared more than 160,000 times in two days. The image was also shared on Instagram.

Our rating: Altered

Experts and an AI-detection tool confirmed the image is AI-generated. There's no evidence Trump waded through flood water in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

and you would believe something like this off the bat,  you wouldn't think it was possibly satire? do you not think it would be main headlines by the Trump team rather then just seen by 160k people. 

 

this is the issue with the social media censorship, ban all social media or none, you cannot ban 1 side because you dont like something

I would suspect the opposition of releasing that, so people could criticize as a fake his supporters release ... and yea, hook line sinker 

 

Anyone with common sense, that has seen him walk up & down, steps or ramps, knows he wouldn't do something that stupid, at his age.

 

Lack of secret service anywhere should be the first clue, if common sense isn't working.

 

Title should read "fake reporting of a fake photo" ... try to think for yourselves once in a while 😎

Nice try... but one of the linked Facebook accounts cited above that circulated the false image has anti-Harris and Biden posts.

The same kind of digitally altered (fake) images have been used AGAINST Trump at times as well, such as a post assassination attempt photo comparing Trump's pose with that of Hitler.  Neither kinds of misrepresentations should be allowed -- when identified as such.

Photo of Hitler Posing Like Trump After Assassination Attempt Is Fake

 

"In August 2024, social media users circulated a genuine photo of former U.S. President Donald Trump, taken after his attempted assassination in July 2024, alongside a purported image of Adolf Hitler.

...

However, in short, although the Trump image was authentic, the alleged photo of Hitler was not. We concluded it was not AI-generated, but it was, in fact, a composite image created using elements from several different photographs, including a flipped and altered image of Hitler; a photograph of chief propagandist of the Nazi Party Joseph Goebbels; an unidentified woman; and a Nazi flag. Because of this, we rated the image of Hitler as "Fake."

not satire as i expected, but what whats the big deal, its clearly an AI generated picture, are things like this not allowed, is this supposed to sway voters?  it reached 160k views, what about Taylor Swift endorsing Harris, she has millions of followers, but i guess swaying votes harris' that way is ok?

 

do you show the same concern on misinformation posted daily by the MSM, or is it only when it's on the Trump side

Of course, Trump via his Truth Social account also has been caught lately reposting a fake/false image of Kamala Harris that purported to show her with P Diddy, when the actual photo showed her with Montel Williams.

 

Posts Spread Digitally Altered Image of Harris with Sean Combs

September 25, 2024

 

"Following the arrest of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs for sex trafficking and other charges, social media users — including former President Donald Trump — shared a digitally altered photo that purports to show Combs with Vice President Kamala Harris. The original image actually shows Harris with then-talk show host Montel Williams in 2001.

...

A Sept. 21 Facebook post shared a photo which appears to show Combs and Harris posing together, along with the caption, “P. DIDDY & KAMALA ‘hanging out’ back in the day. Wonder if any ‘Crazy Stuff’ was going on then?”

...

Former President Donald Trump reposted the photo on Truth Social on Sept. 20, where it was captioned, “Madam Vice President, have you ever been involved with or engaged in one of Puff Daddies freak offs?” The post was later deleted."

so what?  sounds like you are all for censorship, you have a fleet of fact checkers that are more than happy to fact check trump every second of the day, so why worry about this?

And, likewise, Trump lately has also been found to be falsely claiming that Harris or her campaign had altered an image of large crowds at her campaign rallies [bigger than his] -- when in fact the image in question was shown to be accurate and real!

 

No evidence to support Trump’s claim that image from Harris’ rally is fake

August 13, 2024

 

"Trump’s latest claim is that Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, manipulated a rally image to make it seem like there was a larger audience. 

...

THE ANSWER

 

No, there is no evidence to support Trump’s claim this image from Harris’ rally is fake. There are several other real images from the event that also show the same large crowd."

And then, earlier this year, Trump supporters were at it again posting AI fake images of Trump purportedly palling around with black people (purporting to show that Trump is friendly to them and black people support him).

Trump supporters target black voters with faked AI images

 

4 March 2024

 

Donald Trump supporters have been creating and sharing AI-generated fake images of black voters to encourage African Americans to vote Republican.

 

BBC Panorama discovered dozens of deepfakes portraying black people as supporting the former president.

...

The fake images of black Trump supporters, generated by artificial intelligence (AI), are one of the emerging disinformation trends ahead of the US presidential election in November.

ok, you're getting boring now, complains about AI generated picture while posting AI generate bot comments. 

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

The one AI photo I reposed above -- to illustrate how fake media is being used / abused in the presidential campaign -- is clearly labeled as FALSE.

 

Can't say the same for the posting habits of Trump and his lot.....as illustrated in several earlier posts in this thread.

It's going to get really dirty in the next 4 weeks, major misinformation campaign over on Twitter led by Musk.

The Harris campaign producing some awesome videos to counter.

 

Interesting to see that their is quite a campaign gathering steam that even if Trump wins Vance's backers have been planning to take Trump out in the early part of his term and that I can believe. Trump's reaction should be a joy to behold!

And not a hair out of place.

I am of the opinion that if he manages to get installed in the WH again there will be a quiet palace coup, where the likes of those behind the scenes (such as whoever/whatever is funding the corruption of the US Supreme Court) will actually be running things while DT lives out his years on his golf course.

The GOP has done this before, starting with Reagan (ok, arguably with Eisenhower) then HW, then W, but I think this time it will be more contentious and daring.  This is the real threat in this election.

Anticipating a replay of 2000, where SCOTUS picks the president, and we know who that will be.  As I've been saying in here, getting the votes is only half the issue.
