I sure he wasn't duped because he was in on it. This was a test run of having a fake "Trump" on friendly far-right media outlets answering scripted questions to keep him in the press and fake Trump, unlike real Trump, can stay on topic and avoid offering further incriminating evidence.
What if Trump dies and they try pawn off his deep fake as him to keep Trump relevant then that fake Trump wins the election. What would happen then?
It’s sad that I can absolutely see a significant number within our population falling for a deep fake Trump after his death and continuing on believing he’s alive. Hell, it doesn’t even take a deep fake for folks to believe people that are long gone are still with us.
Then Real America’s Voice should be called out again, not for the host being duped, but for them trying to dupe viewers.
I do realize that it would never happen though, with Fox having been at their schtick for almost 30 years
Was it coherent? That is the big tell it's AI
Is it? It's not like Trump is coherent.
I think that's what they are suggesting. If the speech was too coherent, then it could not have been actual trump.
Whoosh ;)
Hmm you raise a good point... If the AI was trained exclusively on trump's speech and allowed to run amok, then I imagine it would be equally incoherent
But if it's a someone else typing the words,and assuming they don't have swiss cheese sized holes in their brain, then it's likely the AI will make more sense. Or at least have reasonable sentence structure. And no hamberders
It's an LLM, Large Language Model. They're better at language than anything else.
100% the AI will be more coherent than Trump.
And no hamberders
Using non-existant words will be the only way humans will be able to distinguish themselves from our machine overlords after the comin apocalypse.
Unfortunately making up facts (and words) is one of the things that these systems can do reasonably well. So I don't think this will save us.
I had the same thought lol. It sounded too coherent to me.
UPDATE: The Daily Beast added an editor’s note to their piece. Here it is in full: “Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to remove quotes attributed to the owner of Real America’s Voice, Robert Sigg, saying he is investigating whether the call was a prank and criticizing network staffers. A Daily Beast reporter had a conversation by text with a person who identified themselves as Sigg, on a number public records show was once associated with Sigg—but a spokesperson for Real America’s Voice said that it was not Sigg and is not his current number.”
We had to update our interview about someone potentially being duped by fake Trump because our interviewer was potentially duped by a fake person pretending to be the person who potentially got duped by fake Trump.
Wtf is happening here?
They didn't want to admit to being duped, so they used projection, suggesting viewers were the duped ones.
Choppy voice is not sign of AI, but of bad internet connection. Also sound compression can create audio artifacts so that the voice does not sound quite the same. Better analysis is needed than that.
Yeah, honestly, the clip shared on the top of that site is not clear. Sounded like poor connection. The tangential babbling sounded a lot like Trump. I don’t even know the point he was trying to make.
I listened to the whole thing, and while it does sound terrible due to what I assume to be a bad connection and an incompetent host and caller, it doesn't sound like AI to me.
In my opinion, it sounds like he's sniffed up and his dentures are falling out of his mouth, as we've seen in previous addresses.
Just the usual idiocy from the world renowned orange moron. Move along.
Is there anywhere to listen to this fake interview without giving any of these idiots more clicks? That mediaite site totally doesn't work with FireFox.
Will a Twitter link work for you? It still gives them a view, but it's Twitter, so who cares? https://twitter.com/realamvoice/status/1697375691140915280
It still gives them a view
We have to collectively stop clicking on these people's sites. Same with Twitter. Fuck Musk and all his companies.
Thanks for the link, but if more people simply stayed off a lot of these sites, they would collapse from lack of views.
Then I'm afraid I have no other link to give you.
Half of them are gullable and the other half are outright career criminals that deserve more than prison.
Ah, is this how a proper corn cobbing looks? Okay.
I'm a little unclear what they're saying gives it away as being AI? Occasional choppiness?
The tweet link posted elsewhere in this thread doesn't give much to go on, but the "choppiness", while noticeable if I was really looking for it, did not stand out to me. What did stand out to me was the clarity of the audio. Every "on the phone with Trump interview" I've heard (which is few, but enough) has had really horrible, standard phone line quality. This had a "computer microphone picking up a computer speaker" quality. Which I suppose lends credence to the theory that they, themselves, are doing the duping, otherwise the faked audio would have come through the phone lines? Probably would have been more believable then, like how grainy pictures of Bigfoot are more believable.
He has a lisp on this recording.
