MSNBC - Since January, Trump's administration has used artificial intelligence to churn out a steady stream of fake images on social media, from alligators in ICE hats to crying members of Congress. Earlier this week, Trump used his account on his personal social media platform, Truth Social, to share an AI-generated clip showing former President Barack Obama being forcibly detained by the FBI. As bizarre as it was, it fit in with his other nonsensical memes, which included various Democrats in orange prison jumpsuits as the "Shady Bunch" and a fake-looking video of a woman in a bikini catching a snake with her bare hands.
Even in the most harmless AI-generated memes, Trump is muddying the waters on what is real, encouraging his supporters to believe everything and nothing. Did a woman in a bikini really catch a snake? Is Obama really going to be arrested? To a Trump supporter steeped in these memes, the answer may not even matter.

one-in-five Google searches in March generated an AI summary, according
to our analysis of 900 U.S. adults’ web browsing data. We found that
Google users who encounter an AI summary are less likely than users who
do not to click on links to other websites. They’re also more likely than other users to end their browsing session entirely.
