Trump is the first AI slop president. That's not good for democracy.


The White House has become a superspreader of AI-generated videos.

Since January, Trump's administration has used artificial intelligence to churn out a steady stream of fake images on social media, from alligators in ICE hats to crying members of Congress, while the official White House account on X has used it to portray the president as Superman, the pope and a villain from " Star Wars." The White House is supposed to be the command center of a vast machinery of intelligence agents, analysts and military strategists who come together every day to figure out what is really happening in the world so that the president can make an informed decision. Obama, who typically tries to remain above the fray, even came out against this latest shock, stating through a spokesperson that while his office normally ignores the "constant nonsense and misinformation" coming from the Trump White House, the "bizarre allegations" of election-rigging are "ridiculous" and a "weak attempt at distraction."
