A manipulated video shared by Musk mimics Harris' voice, raising concerns about AI in politics

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.

Musk is just jealous that his shitty gronk can’t do it.

That is election fraud and Elon should be in jail.

How isn’t this… disparagement? Or defamation or whatever (I’m not a lawyer).

Transcript:

“I, Kamala Harris, senior Democrat candidate for President because Joe Biden finally exposed his senility of debate. Thanks, Joe.

I was selected because I am the ultimate diversity hire. I’m both a woman and a person of color. So if you criticize anything I say, you’re both sexist and racist.

I may not know the first thing about running the country, but remember, that’s a good thing if you’re a deep state puppet. I had four years under the tutelage of the ultimate deep state puppet, a wonderful mentor, Joe Biden. Joe taught me rule number one, carefully hide your total incompetence.

I take insignificant things and I discuss them as if they’re significant. And I believe that exploring the significance of the insignificant is in itself significant. Talking about the significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. “So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time, and there is such great significance to the passage of time.”

And Another trick is trying to sound black. I pretend to celebrate Kwanza, and in my speeches, I always do my best Barack Obama impression. “So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type.”

And okay, look, maybe my work addressing the root causes of the border crisis were catastrophic, but my knowledge of international politics is truly shocking. “The United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea. It is an alliance that is strong and enduring.”

Just remember, when voting this November, it is important to see what can be unburdened by what has been. And by what has been… I mean, Joe Biden. Do you think the country went to over the past four years? You ain’t seen nothing yet. (Cackle).”

It always baffles me to say she’s unqualified when she objectively has more relevant work experience than Trump.

Also the “try to sound black” part is just… there’s a lot to unpack there.

It’s amazing people don’t see him as a racist manchild.

Flood twitter with JD Vance couch fucking AI content and see how fast Musk makes them disappear.

This is the way

I wish he’d take some more LSD. Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll turn into a humanitarian.

I would have settled for a lethal dose of fentanyl.

BigMacHole ,

It’s a GOOD thing we give this man BILLIONS of YOUR Taxpayer Dollars!

some_guy ,

I can’t believe a rightwing piece of shit would knowingly spread mis/disinformation. Except that they all do. Lying liars.

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.

xenoclast ,

Probably not pgp as it’s been thoroughly broken… but I get what you’re saying

lolcatnip ,

Pgp is an application. Algorithms get broken, not applications.

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.

Yurgenst ,

All I see is implied permission to post AI Elon videos all over Twitter.

Coach ,

Anyone else more concerned about narcissistic bigoted billionaires in politics? 🙋‍♂️

Why not both?

homesweethomeMrL ,

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?

lolcatnip ,

How could he do that? He is the bad management.

doodledup ,

Why is there no link to the video? Did he even post that? I’m not even seing it on his Twitter.

@Stopthatgirl7@lemmy.world avatar

You didn’t look very hard.

doodledup ,

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:

I would hope this falls under libel laws and makes Musk culpable for a lawsuit and/or gag order.

Technically, anyone sharing this-who knows it’s fake-should be tried and convicted for election interference and treason.
