  1. This AI stuff is so obvious. It's hilarious people fall for it.

  2. This made me wonder how much we see on the news is true…

  3. Now when will they report on the Russia collusion hoax pay for by Hillary Clinton

  4. We are worried about AI propaganda and we haven’t done anything about the human propaganda.

    Western media is all lies.

  5. I really like that last one i want my hair like that.😮

  6. Abc also seems to have a FACT FABRICATION dept as well

  7. Could we have the link to that VERY USEFUL TOOL which we all need to use nowadays?

    Optic? Optics? I don't believe in Google anymore, it has provided me with false links and falsified ads too many times…😢

  8. Non story. The only purpose is for us to notice the maga hashtag and to reference Russia. Our own news organizations are nothing more than psyops for the Democrat party.
    The real takeaway is to not let the media manipulate us.

  9. Isnt AI still a baby?

  10. The closer we get to another fake election, the more BS "news" you'll get. Enjoy the psy ops

  11. "Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see" was a cautionary warning I was taught as a kid. A half-century later and it is coming to pass.

  12. All this makes me think is that when something real comes along, people like this will be ready to “debunk” reality.

  13. This is tiktok, not news. This is a content creator, not a journalist

  14. This is all a government ploy they want to take over and control the internet out right so they control what we see and hear. Especially news from other countries our government doesnt want us to know about. Unfortunately the stupid fall for this bull💩 and dont see what is actually going on. Its a ploy to start regulating the last of things the government doesnt have full control over.. not yet anyways… Dont fall for it…. They are going to make up more crap for stories like this so you think its best for big government to make more regulations for our sensitive eyes and ears. You kiddos are the very ones the big government thinks are to stupid to think for yourselves

    …says the Pentagon who said there's only one, JUST ONE (1) single piece of footage that exists that fails to show any plane slamming into the side of the Pentagon.

  16. These tik tok style vids with all these §πøwf£akes imitating eachother with that same robotic speech pattern in the way they talk got me not even being able to finish this vid. Cringe

  17. So even ABC is saying dont trust the news media.

  18. This is why Twitter has gone to the dogs and I'm not in it anymore. Fakebook was bad enough and now TWITter has joined that wave. People cried about fake news for years and yet now they cling to fake news like a lifeline.

  19. The AI knows war in Ukraine will escalate until nukes are used.

  20. This is all laying the foundation for planned confusion when a real attack does occur

  21. That post had 30k views and 300 kikes. Literally a nothing burger

  22. Fake news far predates AI – This is a dumb news piece – As dumb as they get.

  23. Sounds like something an AI would say to hide the truth

  24. THEY ARE COMING TO NEWYORK ON 8TH JUNE FOR DESTROY USA 😊😊😊😊😊😊
