Is there clear proof of AI in Trump's video statement?

18/19 seconds in, look at Trump's pinky finger disappear and become his ring finger.

The whole video has an AI vibe, but that moment seems like clear evidence. I've never seen a codec introduce that kind of artifact, but it's standard for AI. The background outside the window seems to jump at the same time as well.

My best guess is that this was done due to Trump being physically unable to manage a video... But if anyone has a better idea I'm open to hearing it.

It might also be cool if we can discuss whether or not this is something we're willing to tolerate from leaders. To me, it sounds like a monumentally bad idea straight out of low-budget sci fi.

He moves his hands and afterwards you can clearly see four fingers. Not sure what you are seeing.

In any event, the reflection on the desk seems completely accurate and the kind of thing AI would get wrong.

Setting the playback speed to 0.25 and watching at the 18-20 second mark sure does look like AI artifacting, but I'm no expert. It's easiest to see in his pinky but the whole hand changes.

Even when politicians pretend to be speaking the truth, there is little veracity to their statements and little follow-up or follow-through. So having an AI or deepfake video do that for them seems like a natural next step.

If none of it is real, does it matter how it was made? Witness the massive announcements which are revoked, then reinstated, then revoked again. We are in another post-truth era in history. Myanmar used to cut newspaper articles out with scissors to censor them before delivering papers to foreigners. All propaganda is just that.

It does if they’re trying to hide physical/mental decline.

This is exactly what many said during the Biden years and it was discounted as fringe conspiracy theories.
techpineapple•1h ago
And it turned out to be true? They were wrong? I'm just saying if you were using AI in an attempt to distract from the fact that the president was not available, that would be a different thing from using AI to maximize the presidents message. So I'm not sure what your point is.

Discounted by who? His PR staff?
