Suspected Chinese operatives have used images made by artificial intelligence to mimic American voters online in an attempt to spread disinformation and provoke discussion on divisive political issues as the 2024 US election approaches, Microsoft analysts warned Thursday.
In the last nine months, the operatives have posted striking AI-made images depicting the Statute of Liberty and the Black Lives Matter movement on social media, in a campaign that Microsoft said focuses on “denigrating U.S. political figures and symbols.”
The alleged Chinese influence network used a series of accounts on “Western” social media platforms to upload the AI-generated images, according to Microsoft. The images were fake and generated by a computer, but real people, whether wittingly or unwittingly, propagated the images by reposting them on social media, Microsoft said.
Microsoft said the social media accounts were “affiliated” with the Chinese Communist Party.

The CCP thinks this makes America look bad? This makes America look BADASS!
We’re really going to be fucked once AI figures out we only have 4 fingers and a thumb per hand.
Shhh!
I love that they say, “the Statue of Liberty has four fingers” (and that’s how you know this was planted by a foreign agent provocateur), when the title says, “democratic & Freedoms.”
Well, considering the amount of memes with broken English that Trump supporters shit out, that’s probably not the best indication.

Wouldn’t pretending to be an expert on Fox News and just make things up be easier?
Or is that route pretty congested already?
