AI Barron Trump and the Politics of Deception

Last week several subscribers to my channel referred me to "Trump Anthem," which is a channel filled with AI videos, primarily of Barron Trump singing. And, yes, those videos are as creepy as you might think.

Perhaps even more unsettling are the comments on the videos, most of which seem to believe that AI Barron Trump is actually the real Barron Trump. And these comments are, of course, VERY pro Donald J. Trump.

Comments

From the transcript below the video...

"This means that either they are misled into thinking AI Barron Trump is the real Barron Trump, or perhaps more likely, they simply don't care because they are so wrapped up in MAGA world. To them, anything that glorifies the Trump family is a-okay, even if it's fake content.

And that is almost certainly the purpose behind the "Trump Anthem" channel. Whoever created it uses AI videos, subscribers that were bought and paid for, and tons of comments from bots, with the goal of reeling in some actual humans.

It's all about deception.

This willingness to deceive others has been a hallmark of the MAGA universe from the beginning. From Paul Manafort to Steve Bannon. From Tina Peters to Mark Robinson. So much that surrounds the MAGA movement is built on deception."
