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.

(The video) claims Harris is a “diversity hire” because she is a woman and a person of color, and it says she doesn’t know “the first thing about running the country.”

Classy as always right wingers. /s

Hey now... he was also the inspiration for most of the villains in the movies we watched as kids.

It's not mentioned in the article, but the fake voice in the video also says "Another trick I have is to try and sound black." It's really bad.

Republican leadership and their mythical moderates: "Guys we have to stop the personal attacks, they're making us look bad and just help Harris"

They seem to sometimes forget who all is in the party lmao. This is who they are.
