A recent uproar on social media sites has brought attention to the incredible capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI). In particular, a controversial AI-generated video involving former US President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris has gone viral, leaving users amused and bewildered.
The video, created by X owner Elon Musk’s AI firm, XAI, utilizing their cutting-edge tool Grok-2, has taken center stage in the AI community. Previously available only to X Premium subscribers, Grok-2 empowers users to create images and videos without the restrictions imposed by other AI tools.
X, which is commonly known as Twitter, has become flooded with an influx of bizarre and unconventional content. Many posts feature prominent public figures like Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, and Elon Musk himself.
While some may find these AI-generated videos and images entertaining, others view them as concerning and controversial. The viral video in question portrays Donald Trump and Kamala Harris engaging in romantic scenes, including a playful kiss and a stroll along a beach. Similarly, some shared images depict Elon Musk involved in provocative scenarios, including being led on a leash by Trump, and even holding a sign that reads, “I AM A PEDO!”
These creations have demonstrated the incredible potential of AI technology, capable of mimicking and manipulating visuals to a startling degree. The implications of such advanced AI tools raise questions about the growing influence they may have on social media and the potential for misuse in the future.
As technology continues to evolve, society will likely grapple with the ethical dimensions surrounding AI-generated content. The viral nature of these controversial videos highlights the need for responsible utilization and regulation, as the lines between reality, humor, and potential harm become increasingly blurred in the digital realm.
