DeSantis Campaign Uses AI-Generated Images Of Trump Hugging, Kissing Fauci
June 9, 2023
With the ascent of artificial intelligence (AI), it’s increasingly difficult to separate fictional images from authentic ones. That makes AI a tempting tool for all sorts of dishonest characters — like politicians.
One of them has already embraced AI’s truth-bending potential: Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign has circulated a video peppered with fake photos of Donald Trump hugging and kissing the controversial Dr. Anthony Fauci.
The video includes bona fide images of Trump, but experts say three others are almost certainly AI-generated deep-fakes. “Our results consistently output a decision that these images are fake,” Drexel University electrical and computer engineering professor Matthew Stamm told Reuters after using a process to scour the images for artifacts of synthetic image generation.
After the fakery was reported, first by Agence France-Presse and then major US outlets, Trump allies were quick to condemn DeSantis.

I agree. Those fake AI campaign ads need to be taken down immediately. https://t.co/CEPPFGaV4V

Mounting an utterly flimsy defense, figures in the DeSantis circle implied the images were obviously fake — disingenuously likening them to a video where the face of DeSantis was superimposed on the Michael Scott character in a scene from “The Office,” and to a “photo” of DeSantis riding a rhinoceros — and ignoring the fact that accompanying words on the screen say “REAL LIFE TRUMP.” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/desantis-campaign-uses-ai-generated-images-trump-hugging-kissing-fauci

Supposedly Donald Trump, Jr. circulated some “deep fake” pictures of Ron DeSantis recently (see https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/desantis-deepfake-the-office-don-jr-b2347606.html).

Anyway, the use of such fakes is wrong–but not surprising in this age–plus the idea of fakes is warned of in scripture.

In the first century, the Apostle Paul wrote:

1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-2, NKJV)

Apparently, the Apostle Paul had to deal with some who faked a letter claiming it was from him as well as reports he said things he did not say. So, he warned Christians about that.

But that, of course, did not stop the fakes.

Various false gospels came out in the 2nd century (for some details, see also Who Gave the World the Bible? The Canon: Why do we have the books we now do in the Bible? Is the Bible complete?).

In the late 2nd/early 3rd century, a Church of God leader known as Serapion of Antioch used the term pseudepigrapha to warn against something falsely called the Gospel of Peter (Peter did not write it; for more details, see also Who Gave the World the Bible? The Canon: Why do we have the books we now do in the Bible? Is the Bible complete?).

The Apostle Paul also warned:

12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; (2 Timothy 3:12-14, KJV)

With modern technology, highly persuasive deceit is possible–and to a degree impossible in Paul’s day. But he warned Christians to have assurance in true biblical teachers.

The Apostle Paul also taught:

21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. (1 Thessalonians 5:21, KJV)

Once you have proven the truth, you need to hold fast to it so you will not be deceived like others. Or tossed to and fro by every wind purporting to be true, “that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting” (Ephesians 4:14, NKJV).

Many post and say things that are not true about the CCOG.

In addition to not believing lies being posted against the truth and church leadership happening now, more deceit is coming. Technology can be a good thing, but consider something that the UK’s Daily Mail reported in 2021:

An AI company is using deepfake technology to seamlessly dub your favorite actor’s dialogue
Flawless’s TrueSync platform captures both the actor and the dubber’s expressionsThe data is synthesized to create a 3-D rendering seamlessly merging the two ‘Heist’ director Scott Mann co-founded Flawless after seeing his films butchered by bad dubbingHe’s dubbed convincing scenes from ‘Forrest Gump’ and ‘A Few Good Men’ in Japanese, German, French and Spanish
No, Tom Hanks didn’t just learn fluent Japanese: a bleeding-edge artificial intelligence system has learned to create deepfakes so realistic it looks like your favorite actor is delivering their lines in any language.
TrueSync, a new AI system from the UK company Flawless, captures the actor’s face and head, as well as the foreign dubber’s mouth, and synthesizes them in a 3D rendering.
The resulting dub, the company touts, ‘captures all the nuance and emotions of the original material.’ …
In March, a deepfake video appearing to show Tom Cruise went viral.
‘You make a small change in a word or a performance, it can have a large change on a character in the story beat, and in turn on the film,’ Mann told Wired. 05/24/21 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-9613749/AI-company-uses-deepfake-technology-seamlessly-dub-favorite-actors-dialogue.html

Yes, computer technology and artificial intelligence can make very convincing fakes.

More deep fakes are coming. Some will be used for purpose of deceit and character assassination.

In May of 2021, I posted:

I expect that the time will come when deepfake technolgy will be used to make it seem like I, and others in the CCOG, say and/or do things, that we did not say or do.

Earlier this year, I had to denounce a deep fake report against CCOG evangelist Evans Ochieng.

Sadly, we can expect more deep fake technology to be used against one or more of us in the Continuing Church of God.

A while back, the CCOG put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

13:27
Lies and Deepfakes
Jesus taught that God’s prophets would be reviled and spoken evil of. He also warned that the devil was a liar that worked to take the word of God away from those who heard it. The Apostle Paul warned that “evil men and seducers would wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13, KJV). He also warned that letters purported from him with false messages were an issue. COG leader Serapion of Antioch denounced a gospel falsely attributed to the Apostle Peter as pseudepigrapha. With the internet, lies can spread faster than before. With technology, like artificial intelligence, can we expect to see deepfakes that will make it look like Christian leaders say or do things that they did not? Do you, “prove all things” so you will not fall from the coming increased deceit? Will YOU hold fast to that which is good or be one who “loves and practices a lie’? Dr. Thiel refers to aspects of modern technology and various scriptures to warn Christians to not be misled by what is coming.

Here is a link to the video: Lies and Deepfakes.

The Bible teaches in the last chapter of its last book:

14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. (Revelation 22:14-15, NKJV)

Hopefully, you truly do His commandments and have proved the truth.

Do not be among those who will believe and love the coming lies.
