A manipulated video that mimics the voice of Vice President Kamala Harrissaying things she did not say is raising concerns about the power of artificial intelligence to mislead with Election Day about three months away.
The video gained attention after tech billionaire Elon Musk shared it on his social media platform X on Friday evening without explicitly noting it was originally released as parody.
The video uses many of the same visuals as a real ad that Harris, the likely Democratic president nominee, released last week launching her campaign. But the video swaps out the voice-over audio with another voice that convincingly impersonates Harris.
Technically, anyone sharing this-who knows it’s fake-should be tried and convicted for election interference and treason.

Flood twitter with JD Vance couch fucking AI content and see how fast Musk makes them disappear.
Or real pictures of Trump’s ear
“My name is JD Vance and I approve this loveseat.”
JD Vance is Sofa King
This is the way
Hey guys, it’s me JD, JD Vance here to react to the latest IKEA commercial. I thought the last one was kind of lame, it was really unexciting to be honest. The couches were barely featured. It was mostly bathroom footage, which is totally boring. But maybe they’ve turned it around. I mean, I doubt it, but let’s see. Let’s hit play.
Oh shit, is that a love seat… uuugghhhharrahhh
Ah, so he’s also into the “petite” category!
Why is there no link to the video? Did he even post that? I’m not even seing it on his Twitter.
Thanks. It doesn’t show up on his profile. And the articles don’t have a link to it. That’s why I couldn’t.
Big Brainlon messes up profiles if not logged in. Super whack out-of-order random Tweets.
Login to dumpsterfire, scroll a bit, there’s the amazing witty satire:
(Am assuming there’s no A/B test stuff going on)
That is election fraud and Elon should be in jail.
How isn’t this… disparagement? Or defamation or whatever (I’m not a lawyer).
Oh easy, cuz he’s filthy rich.
Whoever created it is more likely to be able to be successfully prosecuted (assuming they could be identified) than the person or people spreading it.
The person who uploaded it to Twitter labeled it as parody. Musk then retweeted it without that parody marker.
You could argue it isn’t parody, but that is tricker.
What is this 2018? That ship has already sailed.
Musk is just jealous that his shitty gronk can’t do it.
Shouldn’t that guy be trying to save at least one of his companies from the ever increasing explosions of shit and bad management that “somehow” seem to plague them?
How could he do that? He is the bad management.
I’m sure we could think of some ways for him to do that.
By fucking off to Mars and dying there?
That’s high on the list!
raising concerns about AI in politics
Anyone else more concerned about narcissistic bigoted billionaires in politics? 🙋♂️
Why not both?
Definitely both – although still probably better to be more concerned about the billionaires
Surely this is illegal, right? Right??

It might be… But if it wasn’t, someone shouldn’t make a video of Trump talking about that he already won and that no one needs to vote… Please don’t do this! It would be very wrong if someone did this! His supporters might be filled and stay home…
No one do this!
I… hmmmm… I feel like there’s a secret message here waiting to be decoded.
In Minnesota it is illegal up to 90 days before the election.
I don’t know all the state laws, but there are more.

That’s for sexual acts. I’m still reading it though, but where does elections come into play?
Edit: found it. Section 2. Sorry.
Also we’re 100 days out. If Elon did this again within 90 days, and he sent the tweet from Texas or something. Would Minnesota or another state law be able to hold him accountable? Since of course the tweet would be seen across the country. I wonder what would happen. The senate is working on a federal law, but I doubt the house will be very cooperative before the election.
So if Musk doesn’t delete his post before (let’s see) August 7, he is still arguably disseminating it and violating the law, huh?
Just read through the part about punishment, and it’d be 90 days in jail and a $1000 fine. Even I could afford that. 🙄
It’s the jail time that’s important. I’d guess Musk would spend a billion dollars to not have to go to jail for 90 days.
I would hope this falls under libel laws and makes Musk culpable for a lawsuit and/or gag order.
An old well developed technology needs to be adopted and the public needs to be educated on its use. AI cannot defeat cryptographic signatures which could be used to verify the authorship and the integrity of any digital content. I would support laws that help facilitate mass adoption of this technology. PGP is 33 years old.
Probably not pgp as it’s been thoroughly broken… but I get what you’re saying
Eh. Old small RSA keys can be broken and PGP is quirky enough to not be good for automatic scripted validation. But 4096 bit RSA or ECC or newer PQ algorithms still works fine and there’s newer schemes for signatures that are solid
Pgp is an application. Algorithms get broken, not applications.
It still bugs me how little general public knows about this. Even shows don’t have a clue, or are scared to explain this.
Like this is a solved problem, please please please just use the solution that has been here for the entire time.
The “general public” has very little knowledge about most of what happens in society.
They don’t understand where everything that keeps them alive comes from, let alone how the internet or deerpfakes or so-called “AI” works.
This is, what, how many total times Elon has shared something like this on Twitter where his intention has been (at the very least) dubious?
I find very few reasons to give him the benefit of the doubt here by treating it as some “haha funny meme XD” reaction from him.
