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?

There is software (I think it comes with Adobe stuff) that allows you subtly morph/crossfade instead of jumpcut, so if the speaker pauses or flubs a line you can remove it without an obvious, distracting jump.

I think that’s probably what we’re seeing here.

Except if you look up footage from him at the 9/11 memorial today it looks like he had a fucking stroke. I'll edit with a link in a sec.

Wow he does look terrible here.

Yeah, that's morph cut in Premiere, which they added a decade ago. There's also generative extend, which is the more recent AI addition.

Yeah I think it’s both interlaced and AI. We know his face isn’t looking too good lately. Worse than normal, but you can’t see any signs of that in the video. Maybe he got some Botox?

The hands are weird but that’s but that’s not what is giving me uncanny valley vibes.

it’s the movement of Trump himself. I had to go find some other videos of him of the Oval Office trading from a teleprompter. I watched some older videos but, just look at the differences in the speech given 9/9 on about the NC stabbing vs this one on 9/10.

He tends to lean back and forth while he talks and he likes to do a thing where he emphasizes points with his chin. I don’t see any of that here.

It feels like that trend where people were using AI to bring pictures to life. Like it’s him but they enhanced it with AI or edited the hell out of it. I mean it’s definitely multiple clips spliced together. You can see and hear those cuts if you pay attention.

Everything changes shape frame by frame.

The hell is going on?

Of course they fucking did lmbo

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 2 points 2 weeks ago

Its not a deep fake. But watch how he hides his right hand through all of the speech. Remember the bruise he had? Why would he hide that? Why would an AI video even contain that?

[–] jubjub@crazypeople.online 2 points 2 weeks ago

He's visibly had a stroke judging from a recent photo. I think the AI was to improve the droop on one side of his face.

So I could also impersonate myself to be way more coherent?

I wonder is I could make my self lase too...I might need a little tickle to get me started...

Oh, no photonics experts on here....I'll phase my self out....
