This is horrifying actually
@
Gen AI should be a felony.
@
A.I. should be illegal and banned from Political Ads. Unfortunately too many people are gullible and don't have the patience or skill to fact check ✅.

This is just as dangerous as screaming "Fire!" in a crowded movie theater.
We're doomed

Here's the real danger! It does not matter if a person watching an AI video/advert knows it's AI, as long as the video contains something that they already have strong believes regarding the subject matter, it will simply reinforce those believes, fake or not.

This is gonna get so much worse in the near future, it's literally poisoning people's minds.

Republicans making up friends with ai is a pretty big tell.

They're wasting our natural water resource to generate this AI Slop? We could be curing cancer. What a disgrace, how childish. Also, that image/joke with Jordan & Josh is hysterical!

Ah yes, the Statue of liberty which was famously created by the French would totally go after the democratic socialist instead of the wannabe king...

On a more serious note: AI usage should be banned in political advertisements.

“The most annoying people using the most annoying technology” is a perfect summation of politicians today and always. I’d add that they’re totally artless and predictable with gross repetition as their only tool to “win” over voters. Ugh, whatta world.

How does this not count as libel and slander? There's no way this passes the "reasonable doubt" test.
@
This needs to be illegal!!!

All this talk of keeping kids off social media when adults with AI is the far more dangerous problem in society

As far as I'm concern using AI in political ads is a great way to lose my vote

AI slop is even insufferable when you make fun of it. This was hard to watch

In Korea it’s illegal to use deepfake or AI to imitate real people… it should be a world wide law. AI generative content is just defamation with extra steps….
@
I'm noticing one party uses AI in their ads more than the other one.

This is so much scarier than it is funny.
