Can You Trust What Your Government Shows You?

President Trump posted an AI-generated video depicting an American military attack that never happened. The explanation was that he was “sending a message.” But when government officials use artificial intelligence to create realistic footage of fictional events, how can the public distinguish fact from propaganda? As AI-generated imagery becomes more convincing and government messaging becomes increasingly intertwined with social media, the real question is no longer whether we can be fooled. It’s how we will know when what we’re seeing is real. Stay fierce. Stay independent.
