Sapevamo che sarebbe successo. Nota quanto sono realistiche le immagini e le voci. Questo video deepfake basato sull’intelligenza artificiale di Catherine Connolly che si “ritira” dalla competizione presidenziale e che il sondaggio di venerdì è “annullato” è live e virale su Facebook stasera. Migliaia di spettatori, commentatori che ci credono.
We knew this would happen. Note how realistic the visuals and voices are.This AI deepfake video of Catherine Connolly ‘withdrawing’ from presidential contest and that Friday’s poll is ‘cancelled’ is live and viral on Facebook tonight. 1000s watching, commenters believing it.

Good effort, but they made Catherine Connolly way too animated
Looks obviously fake
Any one who regularly watches the news on RTE would cop the voices as being wrong off the bat. Visually though it’s probably 90% or more there.
They got Sharon’s voice so wrong.
Anyone dopey enough to fall for this wouldn’t have the wherewithal to locate their polling station in the first place
The question is who is making these.
It may be poorly done; but it takes time to get to this level as it is. A Joe Bloggs sitting around at home can’t make this level of deepfake.
So who bothered with it? And why?
This is insane.
I’m more surprised that there’s already fake videos of them counting the votes when the election isn’t til Friday. Who would believe that?
The way the mic practically flew off shot is a massive tell, but it would definitely be enough to fool a lot of people.
I absolutely hate this timeline, where literally nothing can be trusted.
Pretty poor in fairness! I for one would love the election to be reset
Are people still convinced of all the spoil your vote comments and posts on Reddit being a genuine, grassroots thing?
very poor deepfake but then people are suckers, right?
Plenty good to fool people who use Facebook.
I think it’s really worrying that outsiders are trying to influence our election so much. The next elections are going to be so annoying.
Yeah, we all know it’s fake, but I’d say we’re in the minority tbh. Both my mother and older siblings would probably not question it, depending on where they saw it.
