Tulsi Gabbardβs confirmation hearing is raising eyebrows, not just for politics, but for the telltale signs of AI. From eerily precise yet evasive answers to a robotic refusal to call Snowden a traitor, something is off. Was it really Gabbard answering?

The official White House Insta posted a video of Trumpβs speech about the DC plane crash but if you zoom in, the signs of AI are undeniable. Why is the WH posting this? Who made it, and why? This is a warning to question everything.

At his press conference on the D.C. plane crash, Trump threw out the idea that DEI policies are to blame, without proof. But hereβs the kicker β¦ The press conference itself looked AI-manipulated. Was this really live, or was it tweaked to fit a narrative?

A video of Hegsethβs first day at the Pentagon is making the rounds. But somethingβs not right.
Standing next to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs C.Q. Brown Jr., Hegsethβs video is full of AI red flags. Why is a major government press event showing signs of AI?

He pushes junk science and lies. Even his own cousin Caroline Kennedy called him a βpredatorβ addicted to attention and unfit to lead our nationβs health policies.

Trolls arenβt just annoying. Theyβre strategic. They use tricks like spreading false info, twisting words, and starting arguments to stir chaos and shut down real conversations. Their goal? To make you upset or distracted. Stay calm, fact-check, & donβt take the bait. #trolls #ragebait #socialmedia

Why is TikTok hiding the truth about AI? Some of my content exposing AI has been removed/flagged for violating Community Guidlelines. Big Tech is embracing AI because it increases engagement. Is this really about protecting users or protecting profits? #socialmedia #censorship #tiktok #meta #ai

Does Meta champion free speech as it claims? The company has shown it prioritizes profits over people. Regardless of your politics, itβs troubling to see a pattern where, as a social media company aligns with the current administration, content from political opponents mysteriously disappears.

Local D.C. outlets reported on a Potomac River truck crash involving twins, but the accompanying photo shows signs of A.I. Is the story real w/ fake photos, or entirely AI-generated? As we navigate the age of AI, letβs ask: Why share AI content? Whatβs the motive? #AI #Misinformation #FactCheck

Ever wonder why some post rude or weird comments? Theyβre called trolls. Trolls stir up drama, spread lies, or provoke reactions just for fun and attention. Watch out for these tactics: fake profiles, insults, and baiting arguments. Donβt feed the trolls: ignore, block, and report.

Tech billionaires are cementing their influence in politics, leveraging unchecked power to rewrite the rules. Platforms, in turn, are abandoning fact-checking and gutting trust and safety teams, leaving users exposed to misinformation. This tech oligarchy is sending a clear message: profits > users.

President Biden warned of the rise of a tech-industrial complex: a new force of power that threatens our basic rights and freedoms. The truth is being drowned out by lies crafted for profit and power. Protecting our democracy starts with protecting the truth.
