"I'm not a photojournalist," Mr Kaye tells me from his radio studio.
"I'm not out there taking pictures of what's really happening. I'm a storyteller."
"I just happen to be telling fictional stories about real people, but deliberately not telling anyone."
What a bleeping piece of bleep.
What gets me about these AI bros is that they could use photoshop to fix the minor flaws like Trumps hand having the wrong color under it (apparently white hand on black skin fucks up the algorithm) but they never do.
They are such talentless hacks that even the most trivial work a real photographer do is insurmountable to them.
AI be like : white hand on black skin? Insufficient data in training material
Quagmire: Don't worry, I've got magazines full of that. Giggity.
That's how we got two tone Malone!

They could, but that would require them to understand how to use Photoshop rather than just typing in "Trump Black Campaign Popular" into a LLM and weeding out a few images that don't look entirely surreal.

The scary shit about AI imagining is that, eventually, folks are going to get wise and start smoothing these out (by applying actual labor to the images rather than just letting the computer do all the work).
And then you really will have folks posting "Politician In Front Of A Large Crowd of Unlikely Supporters" images that aren't easily debunked or dismissed.
You'll also have a ton of FUD, such that real images that have been touched up by Photoshop are going to routinely be dismissed as AI generated. So someone's inevitably going to come through with the "Joe Biden wasn't really at Event X" leading into "Joe Biden has been dead for 10 days and the White House won't admit it" conspiracies. And that's going to get very ugly relatively quickly.
I'd actually like to see someone take these photos and use them the opposite way. "Look at Trump giving hand outs to Blacks!"
They have zero talent. The only thing we have going for us at this point is how careless and stupid they are with these technologies.
You can tell it's fake because his hands are normal-size
You can tell it’s fake because he’s interacting warmly with black people.
Trump is happy to be around any black person willing to listen to his racist tirades and still kiss his ass. Because they're "one of the good ones."
Wasn’t Kanye a trump supporter?
Yeah, and a Hitler-lover. I'm not sure that really endears him to the black community.
You can tell it's fake because he is interacting warmly with ~~black people~~ anyone.
Multiple hands and fingers are messed up in these pictures which gives them away. We'll really be screwed whenever AI gets the hang of fingers. Or if people generating them become smart enough to fix it afterwards.
Another giveaway is the writing on the dude's hat (upper left). I always check the hands and any text in the image. Those are dead giveaways.
I enjoyed the pic (further down the article) with 3 arms. I mean it's so obvious, and your brain says there's something wrong, yet people still believe the bs.
In this case though? Mostly white Trump voters are believing this. Pretty much everyone else realizes it's bullshit. So it wasn't even worth the time to make the images.
You can actually tell because his hand is messed up. There's no nail on the pinky or pointer and the fingers sre blurring into her shoulder.
Douglas said he was mainly worried about the economy and immigration - issues which he felt Trump was more focused on. He said Democratic messaging about Trump's threat to democracy would not motivate him to vote, because he was already disillusioned with the electoral process.
And that's the biggest issue because no matter who Black, Brown or Indigenous people vote for, nothing ever changes for them.
Kimberly Jones said it best even tho she was referring to a different kind of disengagement.
God, people in this country are so fucking stupid (by design). I was going to say that people like him will find out just how big a mistake electing him would be, then I realized that no matter what happens, people like this will never accept responsibility for anything.
"Trump supporters become their own russian disinformation sources"
BBC, do better. Keep up.
He could easily pose with a bunch of black people. it wouldn't be that difficult. But maybe it would be weird
But then he'd have to touch them.
/SARCASM
Why add the /s?
Because someone would inevitably believe I was taking Trump's side.
This isn't reddit yet, but with the last big influx, your caution has become wise.
Wasn't it him that made noise about fakenews?
But those are the good fake news. It's something completely different. If you were a stable genius, it would be obvious.
Just reading those 3 short sentences triggered me. ;)
Look how happy Trump looks... Wait a second, he isn't even touching his daughter. No way this is real.
No ring on his finger….
Which is weird, because he kept it on for Stormy.
There's no evidence that suggests these photos were posted by Trump's campaign, and BBC didn't mention who posted them despite having talked to them.
I doubt it's just me, but when I read the headline, I assumed that Trump's campaign posted these photos. How else would it be news worthy? "Trump supporters post AI generated photos of Trump in an attempt to garnish support for Trump" is a normal Tuesday activity for these loons.
This "journalism" is just rage bait, in my opinion.
It does say that in the bit I copied from the article at the top of this post.
But there's no evidence directly linking these images to Mr Trump's campaign.
He puts so much God damn orange makeup on he looks like Al Jolson singing My Mammy in blackface
His eyes are looking in different directions while his face is hanging off his body oddly. It looks like AI, lmao.

You're kind of describing the IRL Trump here.
I doubt people will believe this based on how he has treated minorities in the past. Although this really makes me a bit paranoid over figuring out what is real or not anymore for future use of AI for malicious intent. I worry about the lines being blurred.
