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.

    Video of Kamala: “I like bad things! HAHA! Bad things are good, aktuly! BAD BAD BAD! Elect me and bad things will happen! I’m just saying it out loud right now!”

    American who hates Democrats: “That sounds exactly like Kamala. I’m convinced and I’m not going to vote for here.”

    American who likes Democrats: “The AI has hijacked our democratic process.”
