AI Memes vs. Misinformation

In the current election cycle, the use of artificial intelligence has predominantly manifested in the creation of memes rather than misinformation campaigns. Generative AI tools have been utilized to create humorous yet misleading images that play on political narratives, often exaggerating the actions of candidates. For instance, Donald Trump amplified AI-generated images portraying Kamala Harris in a Soviet-style rally, promoting the notion of her as a communist. While these memes may not fool everyone, they serve to convey political messages in a vivid manner, blurring the lines between reality and parody.
