I wrote about a website posing as a local news source reporting on the Ohio train derailment. In reality, the Lithuanian-based website is using "writers" with AI-generated faces to spread disinformation, often by plagiarizing content from other sites. https://open.substack.com/pub/weaponizedspaces/p/ai-reporters-spread-disinformation?r=1aupz&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

For example, this article, which was produced by a writer with an AI-generated face, is a ripoff of a Fox News article criticizing Pete Buttigieg. Notably, this narrative can be traced back to Fox News' criticism of Buttigieg for being "absent" when he was on parental leave.

This website, which uses the guise of local news to gain credibility, also produced content that helped spread conspiratorial/fear-mongering claims about chemical contamination reaching people thousands of miles away — claims that are refuted by experts & fact-checkers.
@RVAwonk - Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D
Content from the website is being shared somewhat widely on social media. Much of this content is related to train derailments & other accidents involving toxic chemicals, but also includes right-wing disinfo promoting accelerationist & racist narratives about "white genocide."
@RVAwonk - Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D
The tactics used by this website are intentional. Hence, it may represent an early example of an effective use of AI-generated facial images in a widespread influence campaign using the guise of local news during a crisis to disseminate messaging designed to maximize engagement.
@RVAwonk - Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D
Some AI-generated text is so good at mimicking news writing that it can produce fake & misleading articles that are more believable than those written by humans. This has the potential to be used to produce believable & highly influential disinfo campaigns on a massive scale.
@RVAwonk - Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D
Basically, it appears that this website is posing as local news and presenting "writers" with AI-generated faces as real reporters to gain credibility, then publishing partisan articles that are critical of the Biden administration but without the label of a partisan news outlet.

I’d like you all to take a second to understand this- The following photos are AI generated from a website called “ThisPersonDoeNotExist” Every time you refresh the page a new image is developed. None of these people exist, all synthetic generations. This tech has existed for a while, now add a little photo shop, or programming and you could create a entire identity. Please understand the potential of this in the hands of a person or group that has some sort of agenda, what ever it may be. Now this doesn’t mean that Everything you see is fake, but it does mean that everything you see has a potentiality to be fake. Ask questions, Why is this being shown? Who is posting it? Who is the target? How does it make me feel? Negative emotions cloud judgement?

Oopsie!🫢 Princess Kate Middleton is wearing the Same Shirt in her cancer announcement video she did for a Mental Health Awareness Campaign, from 2016 Here’s the thing about AI deep-fakes… In order to make an AI Deepfake convincing, you need the following…. 🔴 Deepfakes need a source that closely resembles the atmosphere it’s trying to manufacture the person in. In this case, compare the 2016 video to the cancer announcement video. In Both videos, she is outdoors, in very similar matching color sequences in nature. Not to mention, the same exact shirt. 🔴 AI does not work well when others are in the frame or if there‘s too much movement. Case in point, the Royal Family recently got busted releasing an AI photo of Kate with her children. It was only noticeable because there were numerous people in the frame. Additionally, if the person is too close, you will see imperfections. So farther away is better when it comes to deepfakes. — case in point, the cancer announcement video shows a distorted left nostril when she tilts her head or has a sudden movement. FINAL THOUGHTS: It’s pretty much conclusive for me.. Kate Middletons cancer Announcement video is an AI Deepfake. So if this was a deepfake, what REALLY happened to Kate Middleton? How long until we hear those words… “things took a turn for the worst”? OR…… Maybe it’s just her favorite lucky shirt and I’m overthinking it? 😂 I’m sure all wealthy members of the Royal Family have a random favorite shirt they’ve kept for 8 years. https://rumble.com/v4lben9-princess-kate-middleton-wears-same-shirt-from-2016.html

https://x.com/daoyu15/status/1867436175415554170?s=46&t=wRQSWp_1VffWmS2vKQwhSA… Of course. “TBD” for a year and a half despite already had all the experimental material requirements from the sourcing genome to the testing set-ups, and have already completed the majority of the tests a year and half before, is indicative of an inconvenient negative result that needs hiding and guarantee the next publication to be deepfake.
@NestCommander - Kevin W. McCairn PhD
https://t.co/S2eU226ILx They already had the genome assemblies required to source all the announced “TBD” genes available in 2019-2020 and which the extraction have already been demonstrated from these exact genomes. They already had and have completed the majority of the tests that they wanted to do with the exact formats and protocols of the tests all fully finished in mid 2023. And with a conflict so great that their livelihoods and heads depends on the uncontrolled and continued funding of GOF research, any “results” they would create or release, extending from this exact test that was already a year and a half old, would definitely be faked. The methodologies would include but not be specific to: sample switch-outs, protocol switch-outs, subject switch-outs, AI mediated fabrication of data and images, alignment-based pick and replace for sequencing results.

https://t.co/aJ3P9XphhP (Which they specified in their 2023 report that they sourced their genes for testing via searching through published genome assemblies and sequences using sequence alignment, and which this particular method have been demonstrated to be used for the extraction of one of their TBD sequences by another publication in 2023 from an 2019 assembly.).
