A manipulated video that mimics the voice of Vice President Kamala Harris saying things she did not say is raising concerns about the power of artificial intelligence to mislead just three months away from November’s elections.

A manipulated video that mimics the voice of Vice President Kamala Harrissaying things she did not say is raising concerns about the power of artificial intelligence to mislead with Election Day about three months away.

The video gained attention after tech billionaire Elon Musk shared it on his social media platform X on Friday evening without explicitly noting it was originally released as parody.

The video uses many of the same visuals as a real ad that Harris, the likely Democratic president nominee, released last week launching her campaign. But the video swaps out the voice-over audio with another voice that convincingly impersonates Harris.

      Hey guys, it’s me JD, JD Vance here to react to the latest IKEA commercial. I thought the last one was kind of lame, it was really unexciting to be honest. The couches were barely featured. It was mostly bathroom footage, which is totally boring. But maybe they’ve turned it around. I mean, I doubt it, but let’s see. Let’s hit play.

      Oh shit, is that a love seat… uuugghhhharrahhh
