DEEPFAKES IN POLITICS: THE TRUTH REVEALED!
AI-VIRAL DRAMA: PHILIPPINE VP SARA DUTERTE IN THE HOT SEAT!
Buckle Up, Folks! Deepfakes Are Turning Politics into a Wild West Show! Politicians are now harnessing the power of AI-generated videos to launch ruthless attacks, twist narratives, and spread downright falsehoods!
Just last week, supporters of Philippines Vice President Sara Duterte unleashed an eye-popping deepfake video featuring two animated schoolboys slamming an impending impeachment trial as nothing but a โpolitically motivatedโ farce! But hold your horsesโthis digital deception was quickly exposed as a fake!
๐ Shocking Revelation! Presidential palace press officer Claire Castro did not hold back, tearing into the politicians for peddling disinformation and fake news. Ouch!
But Duterte herself seems unfazed, making waves by proclaiming that sending out AI-generated videos is perfectly A-OKโas long as no one is cashing in on it! Senator Ronald dela Rosa, who shared the offending video, clung to his stance, declaring, โEven if itโs AIโฆ I agree with the point!โ Talk about a hot take!
WILD TURN OF EVENTS! ANOTHER DEEPFAKE STARRING AN ELDERLY WOMAN?
The drama doesnโt stop there! A different deepfake featuring an AI-generated elderly woman actually supported the impeachment! Politics in the Philippines has officially gone off the rails!
This chaotic saga unfolds as Duterte faces serious allegations of corruption, misappropriating public funds, and even threats against current President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. If her impeachment goes through, bye-bye to Duterteโs political careerโshe could be banned for life!
In a stunning turn of events on June 10, the Philippine Senate sent Duterteโs impeachment case back for further examination, all while a showdown spills out in the media! Prosecutors are now demanding action, urging the Senate to kick the trial into high gear!
A DEEPFAKE PHENOMENON STRIKES AGAIN!
And guess what? This isnโt the first time deepfakes have exploded in Filipino politics! Remember when a viral deepfake made it look like President Marcos was doing illegal drugs? The nightmare continues, with an investigation into another scandalous deepfake of him promoting an online trading scheme!
๐ฅ Campaigns Are Going AI WILD! From Trump riding a lion to mysterious endorsements from Taylor Swift, deepfakes have become the new normal in campaigns! You heard it rightโpoliticians stretching the limits of credibility across Asia! Letโs not forget the Indonesian party who created a deepfake of former President Suharto, who, SPOILER ALERTโhas been dead since 2008!
ARE THESE AI AVATARS THE FUTURE OF POLITICS?
Duterteโs defenders argue these arenโt just any impersonationsโthey’re avatars meant to voice opinions without backlash! The creators of these videos are standing firm, saying they reflect โreal opinionsโ gathered from actual students!
Whether you love them or hate them, deepfakes are here to stay, shaking the foundations of political truth! So, folks, hold onto your seatsโpolitics has never been this unpredictable!
