Trump AI Video Exposed: Deepfake propaganda, fake sombreros & how Sora 2 just made reality optional.
The Trump AI video isn’t just fake — it’s prophecy.
Unlabeled, unhinged, and posted from official accounts.
A deepfake presidency preview.
This week on They Might Be Self-Aware, Hunter and Daniel crack open AI propaganda itself — the fake sombreros, the racist undertones, and the terrifying truth:
half the viewers thought it was real.
Then it gets worse.
Sora 2 drops. OpenAI’s new text-to-video demo looks indistinguishable from footage. Add in Veo, cameos, and you’ve got something no one’s ready for — reality on demand.
We debate what happens when politics, art, and truth collapse into the same feed.
“You think someone would just go on the internet and tell lies?”
Yes. And now it’s photorealistic.
