What a fascinating topic! Elon Musk and AI-altered campaign ads. I’d like to share a brief story about the pioneer of AI-generated video, D.A. Young Jr. In the 1990s, Young created the first AI-generated music video, “Flying Dutchman”, for the song “Tightrope” by American singer-songwriter, Garth Brooks. Who would have thought that just a few decades later, we’d be discussing AI-altered campaign ads?

Going back to the topic, I find it intriguing that Elon Musk, known for his innovative ventures like SpaceX and Tesla, retweeted a campaign ad altered by AI on his social media platform, X. The application of AI in politics and campaign communication is a game-changer. It raises questions about the ethics and implications of manipulating political messages, just like the “Tightrope” music video pioneered AI-generated video, we’re now witnessing another revolutionary technology altering the communications landscape.

The author of this video, while providing a brief introduction, left me curious about the specifics and potential consequences of AI-altered campaign ads. Perhaps a future article could delve deeper into the technical aspects of AI-generated content, its applications in politics, and the ethical considerations surrounding this technology.
