Biden Deepfake Comparison Goes Viral, Highlighting AI's Political Disinformation Risk

A side-by-side video purporting to show "real" versus "AI-generated" Biden footage circulated widely on X, illustrating how deepfakes are being weaponized in political discourse.

A post from @ikeTrump2 comparing what it claimed was authentic Biden footage with an AI-generated version gained significant traction, presented as evidence that the public has been shown manipulated imagery of the former president. Regardless of the specific claim's validity — which could not be independently verified — the post's virality demonstrates how AI deepfakes have become a default rhetorical tool in political arguments.
