Photo Gallery – Trump fake arrest photos create scandal
Donald Trump arrested In the case of the porn star Stormy Daniels: the photos created by theArtificial intelligence are false, and some mistakes prove it right away, but the images quickly went viral on social media and were reposted 5 million times.All the work of Eliot Higgins, founder of investigative journalism platform Bellingcat, imagining and visualizing the different moments of wanted the arrest by relying on version 5 of Midjourney, a $30-a-month pictorial art generator. Access is via a digital platform called Discord, where you provide a short text describing the image you want to create and the artificial intelligence app will take care of the rest. “Just kidding. I thought maybe only five people would retweet it,” Higgins explained in an interview after being fined by Midjourney.
Artificial Intelligence and Fake News Instead, the internet raged, and two days later his Twitter posts describing an event that never happened received 5 million views, providing a case study of the growing sophistication of AI-generated imagery and the ease with which it can be captured can confuse a world of fleeting information fueling fake news, conspiracy theories and the public’s general distrust of everything they see.
Photos of Trump’s arrest In the case of Trump, the photos created by artificial intelligence show several production flaws. In the pictures published on the Internet, the tycoon can be seen running from the police or behind the bars of a cell, in an orange prison jumpsuit, in the dock while crying. There’s also his wife, Melania, who protests his arrest (but here the AI takes a crab by portraying an agent in a baseball cap) and his son, Donald junior, who gets into a fight with the cops.
Government regulations required? The episode highlights the lack of corporate standards or government regulations addressing the use of artificial intelligence to create and disseminate untruths at a time when web giants are competing in the field. In the future, AI could become more sophisticated and it could become more and more difficult to distinguish a real photo from a created one.
The allegations against Trump come from the Manhattan Attorney’s Office Trump also helped manipulate public opinion, according to Manhattan prosecutors, who accuse the tycoon of creating “the wrong expectation of his impending arrest” after prophesying it for Tuesday last Saturday. And House Republicans only launched “an unprecedented probe into an ongoing local investigation” after that move by the former president and the prompting of his attorneys. An “interference”, defined as an “illegal encroachment on the sovereignty of New York”.
The tycoon goes against the system Meanwhile, Trump continues his attacks, invoking a “Gestapo” system, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump’s main potential rival in the White House race, is escalating his attacks and distancing himself from the Ukraine conflict after breaking it as “a territorial dispute that is not a vital US interest.” “I think Putin is a war criminal… who should be held accountable,” he said, condemning “the Russian invasion.”
