Trump shares fake AI-generated images of Swift fans
The images that Trump posted were fake, and Swift is unlikely to have been involved.
Donald Trump has shared AI-generated images on social media, showing Taylor Swift fans endorsing his presidential campaign. The images, which are clearly fake, have sparked controversy, particularly since Swift has not publicly supported any candidates in the 2024 US election.
Trump, however, embraced the images, responding with ‘I accept!’ on his platform. The posts were also shared by an account that reposts his content on X (formerly Twitter). Despite their obvious fabrication, the posts have drawn significant attention online.
Taylor Swift, who endorsed Joe Biden in the last election, has not commented on these fake images. Her history with AI-generated content has been fraught, including deepfake videos that once led to a temporary ban on her searches on X.
Swift’s potential legal actions against AI content providers remain a topic of interest. However, the source of these recent fake posts remains unknown, raising concerns about the use of AI in political propaganda.
