You\u2019ve just admitted that earlier in your extremely stupid article.<\/p>\n<p>Even more incredibly, the author then goes on to argue that if the Biden campaign created its own fake videos it would allow them \u201cto respond rapidly to misinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a world where misinformation and disinformation spreads virally, often through short-form video content, having the capability to produce polished, articulate responses in real-time could be a game-changer,\u201d he ludicrously proclaims.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To summarise, this guy thinks its totally acceptable that the Biden campaign knock up some cheap AI generated fake videos of him appearing fine in order to declare that any\u00a0<em>real<\/em>\u00a0videos of him looking and sounding old, tired and senile are \u2018disinformation\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t get any more backwards than this.<\/p>\n<p>Incredibly, the article continues, \u201cUntil now, it has been almost taken as a given that using AI renderings of the president would violate some ethical baseline of campaigning. In an ideal world that may be so. Yet, what last week\u2019s debate made clear is just how far from any such ideal our current reality is. The greatest moral and ethical imperative for those who care about American democracy should be keeping the man who tried to overthrow it as far away from the White House as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, your argument is that because Biden is mentally deficient and proved so during the debate, his campaign needs to forget about any remaining morals they have and create fake videos in order to keep Donald Trump from winning because it\u2019ll be the end of democracy\u2026 or something.<\/p>\n<p>Hell, why not just go the whole hog and steal the election then? Use AI to fake some votes, rig some ballots, swing some states in Biden\u2019s favour\u2026 in order to save democracy.<\/p>\n<p>We went from all the attacks on Biden are deepfakes to Biden should use deepfakes to make himself look better real quick!\ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dr. Steve Turley (@DrTurleyTalks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrTurleyTalks\/status\/1808746298570412523?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 4, 2024<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>This is insane.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 @amuse (@amuse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/amuse\/status\/1808768667435323780?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 4, 2024<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>And they will call you a conspiracy theorist if you call them out. \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Samuel S (@fantaswriter87) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fantaswriter87\/status\/1808743559249469950?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 4, 2024<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>They find endless means to rig elections, don&#8217;t they?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Albert Latham (@albert1776) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/albert1776\/status\/1808743190045786323?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 4, 2024<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>How many days did it take for &#8220;cheap fakes&#8221; to go from (a) the excuse for the problem to (b) their answer to the problem?
