"US leader spews out AI trickery to mock 'No Kings' protesters, proving he is the embodiment of a political culture that confuses ridicule for strength"
"Thousands of people across the United States, including Hollywood actor Pedro Pascal, took to the streets on Saturday under the banner 'No Kings'."
"In cities large and small, they marched with placards and chants, exercising what should be the most unremarkable of democratic rights: the right to protest."
The US leader used AI-generated material to mock 'No Kings' protesters, signaling an embrace of technological manipulation to ridicule dissent. Thousands of people across the United States, including Hollywood actor Pedro Pascal, took to the streets on Saturday under the 'No Kings' banner. In cities large and small, protesters carried placards and chanted, exercising the right to protest. The mocking response framed dissent as warranting derision rather than engagement and reflected a political culture that equates mockery with strength. The use of AI to belittle citizens risked undermining democratic norms and trivializing legitimate political expression.
