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.
Elon is a cancer on society.
Somebody should do something about it.

Circumcision is not the answer.
That is election fraud and Elon should be in jail.
How isn’t this… disparagement? Or defamation or whatever (I’m not a lawyer).

Transcript:
“I, Kamala Harris, senior Democrat candidate for President because Joe Biden finally exposed his senility of debate. Thanks, Joe.
I was selected because I am the ultimate diversity hire. I’m both a woman and a person of color. So if you criticize anything I say, you’re both sexist and racist.
I may not know the first thing about running the country, but remember, that’s a good thing if you’re a deep state puppet. I had four years under the tutelage of the ultimate deep state puppet, a wonderful mentor, Joe Biden. Joe taught me rule number one, carefully hide your total incompetence.
I take insignificant things and I discuss them as if they’re significant. And I believe that exploring the significance of the insignificant is in itself significant. Talking about the significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. “So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time, and there is such great significance to the passage of time.”
And Another trick is trying to sound black. I pretend to celebrate Kwanza, and in my speeches, I always do my best Barack Obama impression. “So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type.”
And okay, look, maybe my work addressing the root causes of the border crisis were catastrophic, but my knowledge of international politics is truly shocking. “The United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea. It is an alliance that is strong and enduring.”
Just remember, when voting this November, it is important to see what can be unburdened by what has been. And by what has been… I mean, Joe Biden. Do you think the country went to over the past four years? You ain’t seen nothing yet. (Cackle).”
It always baffles me to say she’s unqualified when she objectively has more relevant work experience than Trump.
Also the “try to sound black” part is just… there’s a lot to unpack there.
Yes, but woman.
That’s all the convincing the MAGA crowd need to view someone as unqualified for leadership.
You’d have to be astonishingly stupid to think this was real. Unfortunately …
“Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large groups.”
Less stupidity than cynicism.
It’s MAGA, Trump told us that he loved the uneducated right out of the gate
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.”
meanwhile, the Georgia Sec. State removes 80k registered democrats from its voting rolls

Any lawyers know if this could be prosecuted? This seems pretty big though I’m not familiar with US’s defamation laws when it comes to politics and deepfakes.
raising concerns about AI in politics
Anyone else more concerned about narcissistic bigoted billionaires in politics? 🙋♂️

Shouldn’t conercerns already be raised pretty high.
It was one of the first anyone thought of. Not sure how they think this is a new concern.
Musk is just jealous that his shitty gronk can’t do it.
I wish he’d take some more LSD. Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll turn into a humanitarian.
I would have settled for a lethal dose of fentanyl.
we knew this was coming. no shock it came from this cum rag
Shouldn’t that guy be trying to save at least one of his companies from the ever increasing explosions of shit and bad management that “somehow” seem to plague them?
It’s a GOOD thing we give this man BILLIONS of YOUR Taxpayer Dollars!
I would hope this falls under libel laws and makes Musk culpable for a lawsuit and/or gag order.
