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.

    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.
