For example, Trump and many of his allies not only repeatedly promoted the unfounded conspiracy theory that Haitian migrants are stealing and eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio, they also spread related AI-generated memes. One shared by Trump’s Truth Social account showed him on a luxury jet, surrounded by cats and white ducks. Another showed a group of kittens holding a sign that read, “DON’T LET THEM EAT US, Vote for Trump!”

The meme warring is what worries me most about this campaign.

It is actually more coordinated on the corporate funded right and is effective in moving the Overton Window and engineering a post-truth society.

And used almost equally by the left

Both sides use it, may the best creator win.

Another upside down article. With the heavy pro-democrat bias in media and big tech, AI is of course massively used to denigrate Trump and support the other party. Just google for news and see what sources are pushed t the top and which ones are suppressed. And increasingly AI is used in real-time on SM to censor criticial speech (but only in one direction).

Who really need AI when one candidate is so phony and everything and every answer is synchronized with handlers through teleprompter?

Let me guess, you got the idea of this conspiracy from an AI produced image?
