Donald Trump posts a fake AI-generated Taylor Swift endorsement


It gives a new meaning to “swiftboating.”

Former President Donald Trump posted what appeared to be a series of AI-generated images over the weekend to drum up support for his presidential candidacy, including a false endorsement from pop star Taylor Swift. The posts show how Trump might wield generative AI in a way that confounds attempts to police AI-created election disinformation, thanks in part to long-standing legal precedent allowing candidates to lie in political ads. The images Trump posted included one that appears to resemble Harris from the back as she addresses a crowd in Chicago, the site of the Democratic National Convention this week, with a communist hammer and sickle dominating the background.
