Soup again. Again a fake video involving Mauricio Macri before an election. The still fresh precedent, from May of this year, is when a false message from the former president appeared in the hours before the election in the City of Buenos Aires, where he asked his voters to support the libertarian candidate Manuel Adorni, who finished first. Now, the Macri created with Artificial Intelligence once again asks for support from someone else, the governors of the United Provinces.
This is what the fictional Macri says in the recording that circulates on social networks: “On the eve of the elections I want to inform you of a difficult decision. In these months, Milei broke all the agreements that we had built with effort and dialogue. He chose confrontation and personalism instead of teamwork. We do not believe in messiahs, we believe in institutions, freedom and respect. That is why I make the difficult decision to ask you to accompany us tomorrow to United Provinces, the space that today most clearly represents its values, federalism, production, work and the future. It is not about going back, but about correcting course so as not to crash. “Argentina needs balance, not improvisation.”
The fake video seeks to subtract PRO votes from the Government, which is in alliance with the yellows in this election. Just as the May deepfake, spread by government trolls, intended for Macri voters to support the libertarian Adorni instead of their own candidate, Silvia Lospennato.
The AI got fully involved in the campaign.
