Supporters of former President Donald Trump are spreading artificial intelligence-generated photos of him surrounded by black voters to drum up extra support, according to a report.
The now-viral AI pictures show the former president hugging or posing with smiling black Americans, suggesting the fake people are supporters.
Cliff Albright, the co-founder of a group called Black Voters Matter, called the manipulated images a “strategic narrative” aimed at perpetuating a specific lie — that Trump is popular among young black voters, according to the BBC.
