No

That those who create the deep fakes are not true to ones self and are afraid of the other candidates and must create something that is fake and false to gain an advantage.

AI technologies are becoming more advanced with more training; there exist models that can near-perfectly mimic photographs (e.g. Google's Nano Banana Pro), making the potential to generate and spread unregulated misinformation higher than ever before.

Why would you be okay with fake images or videos of people being made doing stuff that they didn't do

That political deep fakes leads to misinformation which in this day and age is exactly what we don't need.

It is unregulated AI deepfakes pose an existential threat to an informed electorate, which is the foundational requirement for a functional democracy.

it could and mostly is used to strip the other contestants of its credibility, especially for non or less educated people then average it holds even more danger as they may not see that it is not a real depiction of what is happening, and therefore fake news might be spread.

Deepfakes can ruin the stakes of an election and cause false votes to the other party when one side has been faked.

Political deepfake could very easily build a false narrative and kill a campaign and even a career. Especially in the older voters in the US that have no clue how to tell the difference between AI and Reality.

Common sense. Politics should be fully transparent and honest with their intentions, no matter whether or not they will garner support. The people who agree should not be their concern, it should be their intentions and hopes to change.

Allowing AI deepfakes in political campaigns would lead to smearing opponents with lies. We have enough of that already.

As an example we’ll use Donald Trumps use of Ai on his twitter(?). Ai is an issue at least generative Ai, it consumes drinkable water so unsociable people can have a relationship with a llm. It’s not only unprofessional, but promotes the use of AI in dumb ways.

Deepfakes can and are currently used to make revenge porn and csem and people SHOULD be very scared of this.

Utilizing deepfakes in a political campaign is objectively slander. It is a falsified representation of a person's character.

I feel like that doesn't make sense, because a lot of people actually believe them, and it will lead to larger problems. It's like a dramatic irony moment in a movie where the audience knows that it's fake, but someone powerful enough will believe it, and it turns into a whole war or whatever.

Deepfakes are extremely harmful and can be very believable to many citizens who lack the capacity or interest in determining whether posts are truthful or not.

Those who think deepfakes should not be banned should reconsider the conflict and how it could be used in a bad way.

What use other than slander and false illegal activity, as well as false quotes, can be produced by political deepfakes?

If there are deep fakes and people don't know what to believe it can sway votes for the president or peoples view on the government because it can make people think the Government is bad depending on what the deep fake is

With the advancement of technology, creating deepfakes is becoming increasingly easy and realistic, which is alarming. There are unscrupulous individuals who could exploit this, using the face of a politician or candidate to convey a misleading and confusing message—not necessarily from someone in the political sphere, but from anyone—potentially generating unnecessary conflict and confusion.

AI generated political deep fakes caused confusion in the elder community. you should not have to question whether or not something political is real that is insane.

AI is untrustworthy and can be used to stray people to make irrational decision based on information that may not even be correct.

how come? because the use of ai could give misleading information to other government agencies and the people of the country

In a world of political confusion and disinformation politicians like Donald Trump weaponize tools of confusion, letting them use AI to trick Americans into falling for disinformation is unethical.

Political Deepfakes distort reality - and can interfere with actual facts and give someone an unfair advantage in our political system

Taking jobs from many people who work in this field. Supporting Ai is pathetic and destroying human creativity and a cheap way to dehumanize our system and have less care in ads.

This can easily fool voters. It is a manipulation tactic. People, especially elders, can be easily fooled by this. As now, its hard to determine.

This is what creates so much propaganda and the reason behind why politics are so difficult now, why we can't believe what we see and why non biased material is so difficult.

If you are using deepfakes for your political campaign, that’s blatantly lying and showing a false image of yourself. Other than lies and propaganda, it abuses the uses of Ai and environment it uses to make said advertisement.

there is no reason we would need deep fakes for politics and transparently I'm insulted that I and other Americans even have to be asked .
