Sen. Amy Klobuchar encountered an AI-generated deepfake that used hearing footage to fabricate a vulgar monologue about actress Sydney Sweeney and Democrats' appearances. The manipulated audio and video made the fabricated remarks appear authentic and spread widely across platforms. Platform responses varied: X refused removal or labeling and suggested seeking a community note, TikTok removed the clip, and Meta labeled it as A.I. Efforts to secure clearer labeling or removal on X faced resistance. The incident highlights inconsistent enforcement of policies and the rapid risks posed by AI-enabled misinformation targeting public figures.
If Republicans are gonna have beautiful girls with perfect titties in their ads, we want ads for Democrats too, you know? the fake senator said in the video. We want ugly, fat b****es wearing pink wigs, and long-a** fake nails being loud, and twerking on top of a cop car at a Waffle House because they didn't get extra ketchup, you know?
X refused to take it down or label it, even though its policy says users are prohibited from sharing inauthentic content on X that may deceive people,' including manipulated or out-of-context media that may result in widespread confusion on public issues,' she wrote. As the video spread to other platforms, TikTok took it down, and Meta labeled it as A.I.
