Donald Trump uses AI video to mock critics, sparking debate on deepfakes

Donald Trump has released a new AI-generated video on TruthSocial and X, portraying himself as a doctor to "cure" celebrities of "Trump Derangement Syndrome." The 90-second video features deepfake versions of figures like Robert De Niro, Rosie O’Donnell, and Whoopi Goldberg, who appear to praise Trump's treatment plan. This marks another instance of Trump utilizing AI-generated content for political messaging, following a previous depiction of him as Jesus Christ. AI

RANK_REASON The item describes the use of AI-generated content by a public figure for political messaging, which falls under the 'tool' category as it's an application of existing AI technology rather than a new release or research.
