Artificial Intelligence Creating Fake News

Who needs the Russians to run a disinformation campaign when there are American leftists creating "deepfake" news? After the 2018 midterms, a wealthy Democrat became embroiled in controversy when it was reported that he had heavily bankrolled a false-flag operation in Alabama. Back in December, Internet billionaire Reid Hoffman apologized for his part in funding a high-tech disinformation campaign that sought to undermine support for Republican Roy Moore and boost Democrat Doug Jones. Just after Christmas, The Washington Post reported, "Hoffman invested $750,000 in one group, American Engagement Technologies, or AET, according to a person close to the matter but not authorized to discuss Hoffman's spending. Hoffman's statement Wednesday referred to AET, which has been linked to a campaign to spread disinformation targeting Moore."
