Someone Made AI Videos of ‘Americans’ Backing a Military Coup in West Africa
"Bizarre AI-generated videos of people expressing support for Burkina Faso’s new military junta have appeared online, in what could be a clumsy attempt to spread pro-military propaganda.
It’s unclear who created the videos, but it appears they are being shared via WhatsApp.
One of the videos was shared widely on Twitter this week when it was shared by Lauren Blanchard, a specialist in African affairs at the Congressional Research Service in the US. Blanchard said that the video had been circulating on WhatsApp but did not know who had made it.
“Hello to the African people and particularly to the Burkinabe people. My name is Alisha and I’m a Pan-Africanist,” says one figure in the video, which VICE World News has confirmed was created by the AI video generator Synthesia."
