Donald Trump Says AI is Dangerous Following Fake Taylor Swift Endorsement

Donald Trump recently made headlines by sharing his thoughts on artificial intelligence after re-posting a series of doctored photos on his Truth Social account. These images falsely depicted Taylor Swift endorsing his potential 2024 presidential run, sparking controversy and conversation online.

During an interview with Fox Business Network’s The Evening Edit, Trump clarified that he did not create the images himself. He mentioned, “Somebody came out. They said, oh, look at this. These were all made up by other people. A.I. is always very dangerous in that way.” The former president expressed concern about how easily manipulated content can be with the help of AI technology.

In the doctored photos, Swift fans, known as Swifties, were portrayed wearing “Swifties for Trump” shirts, with messages suggesting they were turning to Trump after a thwarted terror plot targeted the singer’s concerts. Another image depicted Swift in a patriotic outfit akin to the iconic U.S. Army recruitment poster, with the message “Taylor Wants You to Vote For Donald Trump.” Trump humorously captioned the photo set with, “I accept!”

Despite the false endorsements in the photos, it’s important to note that Taylor Swift has not officially endorsed any candidate for the 2024 presidential race, including Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris, who is currently in the spotlight during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, is a key figure in the upcoming election.

It is interesting to see how technology, such as AI, can be used to create misleading content that can quickly spread online. The intersection of politics, celebrity, and technology continues to be a fertile ground for viral moments and spirited discourse.
