Not saying it is happening, it just occurred to me that it could

    In reference to the US president. I don’t even think AI could recreate the stupid shit the orange pedophile spews out of his face asshole everyday, it wouldn’t be believable…

    They’d need to ensure the cooperation of the VP, who could otherwise become president by exposing the scheme.

        Anticipating this, the people controlling the AI would wait until just before the halfway point, then put out a statement from the “president” declaring the VP a traitor and demanding Congress impeach him. If the VP tried to expose the AI after that, it would be dismissed as an attempt at retribution.

        I doubt it. The only reason for him to cooperate is because he can be elected for two more terms if he becomes president after January '27. Tbh, I think he’s as power hungry as Trump himself, and I wouldn’t bet against him going after Trump’s kids (with all their corruption) if he were to become president suddenly.

          I mean, he wouldn’t be doing it because he personally wants to. It would be one of his masters dictating it to him.

      Yeah, a lot of people would need to be on the conspiracy, which is another reason to doubt it’s happening. But I could see it happening eventually

    Look-alikes and doppelgangers have been around for longer than AI has, and so have conspiracy theories about famous people being replaced by body doubles. They could replace a famous person with AI, but a body double would probably be more convincing since they could still make public appearances.

    He’s still publicly photographed for signings and things. We’re not able to generate him giving a talk like he’s supposed to later today thank whatever power exists

    I had to think a couple of minutes who the current president is, and I’m one of those freaks who reads the news. So yeah, no one will notice.
