Fake celebrity endorsements become latest weapon in misinformation wars
Briefly

Researchers from the News Literacy Project found over 550 instances of election-related misinformation on social media, particularly false endorsements of candidates, intensifying as the election approaches.
Taylor Swift has not endorsed any candidate in the 2024 election. Despite this, former President Trump shared AI-generated images suggesting she supported him, which she has refuted.
Lucas Hansen from CivAI highlighted that the AI-generated images are often noticeable due to their eerily perfect appearances, such as 'super airbrushed' visuals and an unrealistic quality.
Despite previous comments against Trump, such as calling out 'white supremacy', Swift has not taken a public stance in the current election campaign as misinformation spreads.
