Trump Arrested?

Trump Arrested?

Can you believe this picture of Trump being arrested??!! Check out Elliot Higgins’ March 23 completely-fake AI-generated pictures on Twitter of Donald Trump being arrested. You have to look pretty hard to find the structural errors that give away the inauthenticity in Elliot Higgins’ fully-disclosed photo-doodling (spoiler: check out Trump’s supposed belt).

Both of our long-time readers (just kidding) know that we have been downplaying whether Artificial Intelligence will have such a big impact on public policy advocacy, at least in the hands of amateurs or in the short run. But an article in PC Magazine has a different view in its coverage of the first year of ground-breaking AI program ChatGPT. So, we’re not there yet, but “deep fakes” are cruising closer and closer to public policy advocacy significance.
