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.

    You’d have to be astonishingly stupid to think this was real. Unfortunately …

            Cynicism implies you know better but you’re playing along for political gain.

              Yeah, it really just depends on who you are talking about. I guess the stupid ones make life easier by eating up whatever bad faith arguments the cynical ones put out there.
