BEWARE: AI’s New Role in Election Fraud
Guest post by Jonathon Moseley
The full extent of internet “deep fakes” and manipulations is now “maturing” into massive election fraud from the Left.
Apparently fueled by massive dark money and foreign money (both illegal under campaign finance laws), lying by altered photographs is swamping social media. What do Trump supporters and honest voters need to know?
First, on Twitter (X), the “ASK GROK” function (@Grok …..) is a powerful tool for detecting fraudulent photographs.
While Grok and AI are oversold in many contexts, @Grok is able to collect all the analysis of these photographs anywhere and expose the lies by fake photos.
If you see photographs of Donald Trump or conservatives on X, reply with “@Grok Is the photograph/video above real or altered?” (It seems that X has just changed GROK to require a premium membership, but it is still a powerful tool.)
Second, shockingly, left-wing SNOPES has come out for truth and honesty in a big, big way recently. Most of these photos are exposed on the SNOPES fact-checking system.
Third, one of the dead giveaways (“tells”) of deep fake photograph fraud can be explored by asking: “Who is taking this photograph? And why?”
In today’s movie/television generations, we lose perspective to enter the story. In reality, someone has to be taking the photograph. Sinister claims are exposed by the fact that nobody would be taking this photograph if it were real.
People love to take photographs. But the photograph is innocent—for fun or friendship—or no one would take the photograph.
Fourth, for example, this is one of the photographs swamping the internet accusing Trump of being a pedophile.
First, my analysis after research: No one taking this photograph would label it “Trump.”
It would be the occasion of the gathering. The caption is written differently in different colors in different versions floating around.
The girl in the lower left corner appears to be Kai, Trump’s granddaughter, at a young age. Her eyes and head shape are distinctive. It’s Trump’s granddaughter.
Others may be Kai’s friends from school. The woman Epstein is holding is clearly 20 years old or older. She is not underage.
The room is too small to be Trump’s or Epstein’s room. The bed is unmade but Trump is dressed in a business suit like he just came from a Board of Directors’ meeting. This is a child’s room.
But now let’s go to SNOPE’s analysis:
”The image bore clear signs of the use of AI. Trump and three of the children shown had either too few or too many fingers or lacked detail in their hands or faces. The photo showed Epstein with dark or black hair, though a real photo taken in the weeks before July 7, 1997, for the reputable photo agency Getty Images showed Epstein with grey hair that appeared much lighter in photos.”
“Trump appeared to have only four fingers on his right hand, while a child at the front of the image appeared to have six on their left. Another child’s hand also appeared misshapen. Additionally, the nose of one of the children appeared to blend into the child’s face in an unnatural way.”
“… Searches of parts of the image (the children in the foreground or Epstein or Trump behind them) also revealed no links to authentic photos, appearing to suggest that whoever created the image did so from scratch rather than by stitching together existing photos.”
I disagree in part. Kai’s very young image is recognizable. However, an alternate photo is made up of original pieces from some other photograph.
Note, for example, that the little girl in the center right has an abnormally small head but an abnormally long arm.
Someone’s hand is around the boy’s bottom center, but it doesn’t fit any of the children in the photo. On the contrary, one hand appears to connect to three different girls at once.
Fifth, several bizarre videos—which do not show Epstein or anyone connected to him—are circulating as being from the Epstein files. But these are ordinary movies. Well, they are from the horror genre, which isn’t this author’s taste.
But they have absolutely nothing to do with Epstein. @Grok identifies the precise original movies each of these comes from.
One video shows the back of a Trump figure – with the wrong color hair, face unseen – watching young girls fully clothed marching in a large circle.
The innocent asexual video suggests teaching future, would-be models proper posture and balance. But it is presented as proof that Trump is a pedophile.
Sixth, photographs showing two or more people does not mean anything about what is happening as shown. People love to take photographs with celebrities.
Maybe 99% of all photographs of people with Trump are simply people wanting a photo with someone famous. It does not mean they know each other or are doing anything together.
A photo your author found of Nicholas Cage surrounded by fans taking selfies does not mean that Cage is plotting to rob Ft. Knox with the random fans he is standing with.
A photograph of Taylor Swift with two fans does not mean the three of them are plotting to smuggle weapons-grade uranium.
The photographs used to attack Trump do not show that the people know each other or are doing anything other than taking a photograph.
Let’s try that again: What does the photograph show? Seriously. It shows people posing for a photograph. That’s it. What’s happening in the photograph? Trump is posing for a photo with people he just met who want a photograph.
Seventh, the policy of the U.S. Department of Justice – I worked as a defense lawyer in January 6 prosecutions – is to redact anyone who has not been formally charged.
I once negotiated with prosecutor Kathryn Rackozy to redact uncharged people to get the Form 302 FBI interview of Michael Green released publicly.
So women’s faces are blacked out with boxes in documents from the Epstein files. One photo accusing Trump of hanging out with pedophiles shows a woman with wrinkles around her neck, thinning hair, and dark roots beneath bleached hair.
Just putting a black box on a middle-aged woman’s head does not make her an underage girl. It means that under the DOJ’s longstanding policy, unrelated bystanders are always redacted. Age is irrelevant.
UPDATE: While correcting the misinformation against Donald Trump on Elon Musk’s Twitter (X), the author was just now permanently banned from X for “inauthentic activity.”
Answering the flood of misleading information about Trump ahead of a federally regulated election, Elon Musk’s team silenced the truth and objections.
X did not stop the massive number of misleading posts against Trump. Instead, X permanently banned the corrections.
“Elon needs to finish cleaning house,” the author responds. Despite Musk’s purchase of X, repeated challenges to whether a user is a real human being are used almost weekly to silence or discourage conservatives.
The author asks, “If I proved I am a human last week, am I still a human this week?” Facing a large quantity of election-related, regulated attacks on Republicans, posting corrections is counted as spam.
