A New Orleans magician is behind the artificial intelligence used to impersonate President Joe Biden for a robocall sent to New Hampshire Democrats urging them not to vote in the primary. However, he said a consultant for a rival Democratic campaign paid him to do so.
Paul Carpenter told NBC News that Steve Kramer, who has worked on a ballot access campaign for Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips, hired him in January to use AI to imitate Biden’s voice. He shared text messages, call logs, and Venmo transactions with the outlet.
“I created the audio used in the robocall,” Carpenter said. “I did not distribute it. I was in a situation where someone offered me some money to do something, and I did it. There was no malicious intent. I didn’t know how it was going to be distributed.”

Twitter user Douglass Mackey sentenced to 7 months in prison after being found guilty of election interference for making memes disparaging Hillary Clinton…… gee you think this guy’s in trouble?
I suspect that Dean Phillips is in trouble, if it can be shown that his campaign ordered this dirty trick and paid for it.
My impression on the first pass is the guy was indeed a chump. It is entirely possible he was clueless.
See how the Leftists (Philips, et al) are all distancing themselves from Kramer at the end of the article. All saying we didn’t have anything to do with this.
Right.
Like troops in Germany when the Nazis had surrendered. No Nazis could be found. Nobody was a Nazi. They didn’t exist.
He didn’t make it, just passed it on.
