Trump Falsely Claims AI-Generated Crowds at Harris's Michigan Rally with 15,000 Attendees

Aug 12, 2024, 06:56 AM

Former President Donald Trump has falsely claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris used artificial intelligence to fabricate images of large crowds at her rallies. This accusation, which has been widely debunked, suggests that photos from a recent Michigan rally in Detroit were AI-generated to inflate crowd sizes. The Harris campaign has denied these claims, and evidence, including videos and photos from the event, confirms the presence of a 15,000-person crowd. Trump's assertion echoes a conspiracy theory circulating among some right-wing commentators.
