AI Photos in Kamala Harris Rally: Kamala Harris’s campaign has been accused of using artificial intelligence (AI) to alter photos and videos of the crowds attending rallies, a claim that has surfaced through various Republican sources. If you zoom in to the pictures, its apparent that the crowd are deepfakes and digitally generated.
Senior advisor Mike Nellis is reportedly coordinating these efforts alongside Loren Merchan, the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan. They hired many VFX artists to create AI generated images from Kamala Harris rallies. Nellis was hired until the end of November 2024, with a deal worth $2.5 Million.
Another clear sign that Kamala Harris’s campaign is using AI to create fake images is the phone screens. If you zoom into the photo, you’ll see that none of the phone screens show the plane the phones are supposedly recording.
These pictures are AI-generated. If the photo was real, the phone screens would display the same image. Kamala Harris’s campaign is using AI technology to fake her crowd size and spread propaganda through manipulated images, say some experts.
It’s being reported that EVERY SINGLE person at the Kamala rally was paid, carefully vetted and the majority were flown in. It was invite open and not open to the public.
Reaction to Kamala Harris AI Rally Photos
This has led to questions about why the media is not addressing the issue more openly. Critics argue that the manipulation of Harris’s images is evident and intended to create the illusion of larger crowds than those that actually attend her events.
Loren Merchan’s business partner even brags about being an advisor to Kamala Harris
and an AI expert in his X profile. They have previously worked for Biden in 2020 campaign in creating such videos that shows huge AI and VFX generated crowds.
The manipulated images of AI fake crowd are said to be part of a broader attempt to mislead the public, with critics pointing out visible distortions such as misaligned hands and fingers, which are indicative of AI-generated alterations.
The situation has been described as a form of psychological manipulation and election interference, raising concerns about the ethical implications of using technology in this manner.
One Republican said “You no longer have to believe ANY photos posted by the Democrat Party, their paid influencers, Kamala Harris, Border Czar, Tim Walz, Stolen Valor because it is “all” AI generated. They posted 20,000 people were are this small airplane hanger”.
Another independent voter reacted “I seriously cannot believe they used AI to make it seem like Kamala had huge crowds waiting for her. Tell me you’re desperate without telling me you’re desperate!!!!”.
Conclusion
It’s very sad that Kamala Harris and her campaign team had resorted to created AI generated rally photos. If you take for comparison, Trump Rally photos are not AI generated.
