I can't begin to enunciate just how dangerous and irresponsible acts like this are. Normalizing AI image generation for political squabbling is only going to do further damage to our already crumbling democracy.

I've said that we live in a post truth society, and this is just another example. We are only beginning to experience the consequences of this.

I really want to laugh about this, but it marks the beginning of synthetic video and audio for political purposes. Coupled with personally tailored political ads, and this is going to be a total disaster.
