North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson appeared Thursday afternoon on CNN to again deny reporting that he expressed appreciation for slavery and transgender pornography on a pornographic site — claiming it was the work of artificial intelligence.Robinson gave an interview to the KFile ...

So, not only is he ignorant to what “AI” is, he’s thinking everyone else is as well? 🤣🤡

    I’m not going to get into the minutia of how someone manufactured this

    No, baby, you’re gonna have to get into it. This is not a deepfake image, this is your posting history. We can see the whole record of it. If someone manufactured the evidence, they’ve been planning it for decades.

      Yeah. It’s not like someone thought, in 2008, that this particular black guy guy would eventually be running for governor as the major party candidate on a platform based on bigotry and re-electing a convicted criminal as President.

    Mr. Robinson, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

    This is the other half of the problem with deep fakes.

    People can fake awful shit, sure, and be convincing. The other half is that people can pass awful shit off as being fake.

      Sure, but this wasn’t an image of TSwift with a MAGA 2024 shirt on that was AI generated.

      This is years, over a decade, of post histories tied to his IP address with his own profile picture on these sites that was registered a long, long time ago.

      Speaking as someone who works heavily with AI in the Software Engineering community, there’s no way today to get AI to do this.

      Definitely no way to fake the server logs across multiple groups as well as the IP access logs.

        Exactly. He’s passing his awful shit off as fake.

        Or trying to, anyway. Not saying he’s competent. Just awful,

        Nevermind that concocting some of these screenshots would be so easily done with basic HTML that without backing proof they’d mean nothing.

    Kaczynski asked for clarification about how Robinson believed Stein embedded comments published over a five-year period from 2008 to 2013.

    Was it a time travelling AI? Generative AI wasn’t much of a thing in 2008-2013.

    This is waaaaay better than what I thought he did lol

    I thought he flat out ate a baby, not post 7 years worth of horrible racist, antisemitic, sexist, I’m a nazi shit on a black porn site.

    At least I HOPE he didn’t eat a baby. Hes fucked up enough to do it

    All I have to say is: STAY IN THE RACE, MARK! You show those white nationalists that a black nazi never gives up!

    The sad thing is this might be one of the last times in history that you CAN’T claim this. In 4 years, posting info might be so drowned out by AI garbage that you won’t be able to tell what is real and what is AI using user names from other sites and making racist posts.
