Several social media users, including commentators and reporters, on Wednesday claimed that Democrats are allegedly sitting on a 'bombshell' video showing former President Donald Trump 'groping a minor' at a donor event. No official or Republican campaign member has reacted to the claims yet. There is no evidence to prove whether Trump 'groped a minor' and the said video has not been posted., US News News - Times Now

No video released yet but the right wing blog-sphere is already claiming it’s AI. Put on your seat-belts and keep your hands inside the car at all times.

    Did Charlie Kirk tweet that? If so, I’d believe it’s 100% for real and they’re trying to get out in front of it. Like many posters below point out, his base won’t care.

      I have a hard time discerning if Kirk knows this, or if he’s just projecting after the Swift AI nonsense.

      I would just as rather believe that the whole thing is a right-wing plan:

      1. Get conservatives to harp about an incoming deepfake.

      2. Get liberals thinking talking about it, condemning Trump for something they haven’t even seen yet.

      3. Release a video, that actually is a deepfake, a deepfake created BY conservatives.

      4. The deepfake is quickly discovered, and conservatives accuse liberals of trying to frame Trump for sexual assault.

      The tweet is vague. We’ve seen ai been used already in this election to spread misinformation, so it’s saying Democrats might do so could refer to literally anything.

      But when put in the context of this supposed tape, it dishonestly makes it sound like they are talking about it.

      Don’t get me wrong, I’d be happily wrong about this, but this is literally nothing right now.
