Maybe. Even assuming you live to a ripe old age, Trump only has to keep going a couple more years until AI is going to be indistinguishable from actual footage. Keep Trump holed up in Mar-a-Lago for “security reasons” and he never needs to die. He can remain president-for-life.

Eh. We’ve had the capacity to fake footage for a long, long time. Con-artists were faking UFO sightings in the 50s and fooling people. Skeptics were questioning holocaust photos and 9/11 footage a generation ago and straight up denying dashcam footage of police brutality straight into the modern moment.
AI can fake a particular moment and whip people up, but it can’t stand any serious interrogation or follow-up. It is only good at showing people what they were already primed to believe.

Oh sure. I’m not saying it would need to stand up to any scrutiny. But the truth is getting less and less relevant.
And honestly, if an eternal AI Trump managed to deliver on the economy, and not deport too many white immigrants, it would probably be a shoe-in for decades to come, regardless of how implausible it was.
I’m just happy that I’m young enough that no matter what I’ll get to see that shit stain die.
