Trump Rants About AI-Generated Photos After Losing Fraud Case

Former President Donald Trump has unleashed a tirade of tweets and statements about AI-generated photos after losing a fraud case against a media company. Trump claimed that the photos used as evidence against him were fake and manipulated by AI, and that he was the victim of a conspiracy. However, the court dismissed his claims and ruled in favor of the media company, which had sued Trump for defamation and breach of contract.

The case involved a media company called Newsmax, which had signed a deal with Trump in 2020 to produce and distribute a series of documentaries about his presidency and achievements. However, the deal fell apart after Trump lost the election and refused to cooperate with the media company. Newsmax then sued Trump for $100 million, alleging that he had breached the contract and defamed the company by calling it “fake news” and “dishonest”.

As part of the lawsuit, Newsmax presented several photos of Trump and his associates that showed them in compromising or embarrassing situations, such as meeting with foreign leaders, attending parties, or playing golf. Newsmax claimed that the photos were authentic and obtained from reliable sources, and that they proved that Trump had lied about his activities and policies.

However, Trump denied the authenticity of the photos and accused Newsmax of using AI to generate and alter them. He said that the photos were part of a “deepfake” campaign, which is a term for using AI to create realistic but fake images or videos of people. He said that the photos were intended to smear his reputation and undermine his legacy. He also said that he was the target of a “witch hunt” and a “hoax” orchestrated by his enemies, such as the Democrats, the media, and the “deep state”.

Trump’s lawyers tried to challenge the validity of the photos in court, but they failed to provide any evidence or experts to support their claims. They also failed to explain how Newsmax could have obtained or created such realistic and detailed photos using AI, or why they would have done so. The judge rejected Trump’s arguments and said that the photos were admissible and credible, and that Trump had failed to prove that they were fake or manipulated.

The judge also said that Trump had failed to prove that Newsmax had defamed him or breached the contract. The judge said that Newsmax had a right to report on Trump’s actions and statements, and that Trump had not fulfilled his obligations under the deal. The judge ruled in favor of Newsmax and ordered Trump to pay $100 million in damages, plus legal fees and interest.

Trump reacted to the verdict by calling it “unfair” and “rigged”, and by vowing to appeal. He also continued to rant about AI-generated photos and to accuse Newsmax of fraud and deception. He said that he would expose the truth and reveal the “real” photos of himself and his associates, which he claimed would show them in a positive and flattering light. He also said that he would sue Newsmax and other media outlets for “billions” of dollars for their “fake news” and “lies”.

However, many experts and analysts have dismissed Trump’s claims and said that they were baseless and delusional. They said that AI-generated photos were not as advanced or widespread as Trump suggested, and that they were easy to detect and verify. They also said that Trump was trying to distract from his legal troubles and to appeal to his loyal supporters, who still believed in his conspiracy theories and false narratives. They said that Trump was living in a “fantasy world” and that he had lost touch with reality.
