Trump's video on Kirk appears to be AI(contested in comments) (apnews.com)

Trump delivered to us this uncanny video in which he denounces the killing of Kirk and blames the left’s rhetoric as the sole cause of this unfathomable act.

Am I crazy, or is this obviously AI?

The real boring dystopia is that keyboard warrior idiots with no video editing experience will create these type of posts and mislead entire communities.

It is not a deepfake, and I believe leaving posts like this up or without correction in the title damage Lemmy’s reputation.

Please consider changing title or take down the post. I explain the edit here.

Edit: the post has finally been removed. This was my explanation

I’m afraid it’s still not deepfake. It’s a fast cross dissolve cut. “Charlie was a [|] patriot”. It matches his dialogue. You can see above his head in the window that the green blur in the trees changes at the same time.

I’ve left the post up, but edited the title. I would encourage you to reach out to the mods if you feel my changes are insufficient.

Thank you for your contributions!

The real boring dystopia is that we have so little trust in our government that we suspect this at all.

The real boring dystopia is obsession the internet seems to have over something being 'AI' or not.

This is a perfect example. We're looking at deinterlacing and blocking artifacts that have plagued reuploaded broadcasts for decades, and that pixel peepers have complained about that entire time, yet these ancient filters are being called out as 'AI'. And it has little to do with Trump and the government: this would happen to anything high-profile enough using a telecined broadcast system.
