Trump's AI-Generated Black Friends

Sort of the least surprising news of the day, but it's interesting just how open these people making the images are about what they're doing, trying to manipulate public opinion. 'I'm not a photojournalist. I'm not out there taking pictures of what's really happening. I'm a storyteller,' Kaye told the BBC. As for now, there's been no evidence these were created or promoted by Trump's campaign.

Supporters of Donald Trump created AI images showing the ex-president being embraced by black people, a demographic Republicans continue to struggle to court.

A shocking new report from the BBC's Panorama sees at one least prominent Trump supporter, Florida-based radio host Mark Kaye, admit to creating the fake image.

'I'm not a photojournalist. I'm not out there taking pictures of what's really happening. I'm a storyteller,' Kaye told the BBC.

The network shared two of the AI created images, one showed Trump smiling and with his arms around a group of black women. That picture was created by Mark Kaye and his team, the BBC reports.

Another, showed Trump in front of a house with a group young black men. The photo was spread on social media generating thousands of likes and 1.4 million in views.
