We are entering unchartered territory with political advertisements these days, presenting serious moral and ethical questions.
Politico recently reported about a new anti-Trump TV advertisement funded by ‘Never Back Down,’ a pro-Ron DeSantis super PAC that has used AI (artificial intelligence) technology.
The advertisement focuses on President Trump’s criticism of Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds in an attempt to push two narratives.
The first is to imply that President Trump has disdain for conservatives.
The second is to suggest he disrespected the highest elected official of the first caucus state of the primary, and thus disrespected Iowans, too, since she was their choice.
A section of the advertisement uses an AI-generated voice that unsuccessfully mimics President Trump’s dulcet tones. The AI voice actually sounds rather stilted and robotic. But the advertisement doesn’t state explicitly that it isn’t Trump’s voice, and perhaps the casual listener will be deceived.

There is NO scenario where I will ever vote for DeSantis. No Trump supporter or anyone that understands that grassroots is in battle for control of the party should either.
We're way behind Republican vs. Democrat. The issue now is whether or not there will be party that represents the people as the Founders intended.
A vote for DeSantis and the Republican establishment is a vote for an oligarchy run by the political elite and financial backers.
Way to go DeSanctus.
FL is where presidential campaigns go to die.
De Santis just lost any chance he had of getting my vote in the primary and he has zero chance of getting my vote in the general.
I fully expect the rats to use AI to create evidence and generate Biden statements and that’s just the beginning
“Well ...it seemed like a good idea...at the time.”
Arf!

DeSantis and his PAC are lying.
DeSantis is really hurting himself. While PACs are not supposed to communicate with campaigns, you know there’s at least backchannel communications.
What an asinine thing to do. Exactly what we fear from AI and here it is, served up on a platter by a Republican.
AI needs to be reigned in. I’m wondering if existing laws regarding fraud, impersonation, defamation, etc., can easily be brought to bear. Sooner the better.
And the RNC wants us to vote for this snake! Don’t call him DeSantis he’s real name is DeSnake! Or, like that other poster named him DeSwamp …perfect name for him. I’ll say it again I rather vote for a cockroach then vote for DeSnake. Shame really… I really liked him. He had such potential ..unfortunately he ruined his chances by getting mixed up with the wrong RINO PUKES! DeSnake idiot is so full of greed, power and sweet talk from his team that he has completely blinded himself from the true fact…HE CAN’T WIN! The base is super super pissed off and have soured on him.! He can’t see how he’s very own elitist RINOS campaign managers are sabotaging his future in politics. Another one I can’t believe is Cortez is part of this. I just can’t wrap my mind around that. Freaking venomous backstabbing traitor snake.

>> There is NO scenario where I will ever vote for DeSantis.
I have been respectful of DeSantis, although President Trump has my primary vote.
If it proves true that he is deep faking President Trump, my position will turn on a dime from respect to doing anything in my power to keep him out of ANY office.
Same sort of lies are being regularly told about the guy who inspired “Sound of Freedom”. Same reasons, too.

Great, you have an ad that tricks and deceives voters, not for me, no thanks.
The back story on the Reynolds controversy is well covered in this article as well. It was new information for me.
“Reynolds said she won’t formally endorse any of the candidates in the Republican primary, this is according to the tradition of past governors from Iowa, which holds the first-in-the-nation caucuses.
Nobody could object to that, many top officials prefer to remain neutral at such times to avoid claims of favoritism when their job is to facilitate a free and fair contest. During such times, even the appearance of bias can be construed as bias.
But Reynolds’s words don’t seem to match her actions.
Reynolds has appeared with DeSantis at three events he has hosted in the state, including his first in-person campaign event. Reynolds described DeSantis as “a candidate who has shown us that he can, and all you have to do is look at his record.”
Reynolds also joined DeSantis’ wife, Casey, to launch “Mamas for DeSantis,” an attempt to draw more women and parents to the DeSantis camp.
Clearly, Reynolds has a preference for DeSantis but is being hypocritical by claiming to be neutral.”
The dumpster fire called the DeSantis campaign is the “gift that keeps on giving” if you’re a Trump supporter.
A vote for DeSantis and the Republican establishment is a vote for an oligarchy run by the political elite and financial backers.
Then Trump’s PAC can make up DeSantis ads in which he’s saying, “I love pedophiles, and I’m proudly one, myself!”
