Despite concerns about AI deepfakes in the 2024 election, traditional misinformation methods prevailed, illustrating that old tactics remain effective in misleading voters.
As Election Day approached, viral misinformation primarily involved familiar techniques such as text-based social media claims rather than the anticipated use of generative AI.
Experts had predicted that AI deepfakes would dominate misinformation, but instead, traditional methods misled voters about vote counting, mail-in ballots, and voting machines.
The anticipated surge of AI-driven misinformation did not materialize; instead, misinformation leaned on proven techniques, suggesting that generative AI was less necessary for deception.
