Anything you dislike can now be called an "AI fake."

    “What you’re actually seeing here is a holographic image of Joe Biden being transmitted from behind the scenes,” he says.

    Do these numbnuts think we live in Star Trek or something? I know modern tech seems like “magic” to the average person and it seems like it can do anything, but c’mon.

      I’ve been using holograms in my halloween decorations for years now. I also have a robot (Buoyant Bob… he’s a giant chubby-pill-shaped beach ball that hands out the candy…) that gets dressed up. My favorite year was the Phantom of the Opera theme, where we had holographic organs (including several that were animated up in the air for him to go play with.). The holographic organs on the ground, would make “music” if the kids “played” them. (okay, so it was like 5 chords, and the resolution was kind of laughable.)

      it was my favorite because we had kids getting dragged away by parents trying to suggest that if they wanted to fill their bags, they’d have to stop playing with the organs. (pretty sure those parents are stealing their hard-earned candy. jerks.)

      to put it simply, there’s no such thing as a photorealistic or convincing hologram. mine use fog screens and multiple projection sources with very careful angles to record it. even if you can do full color- and you can’t- it would be super obvious the moment a projector got nudged or it’s framerate got out of sync.

      I’m guessing yes. A large amount of conspiracy theorists view reality through the lens of pop culture sci-fi. Close Encounters uses Grey’s as their aliens? Suddenly 99% of aliens look exactly like them. Stargate gets a TV show? Suddenly every ancient culture has a stargate in their back pocket.

      No it makes sense. That’s why Hatsune Miku in North America is not a projected hologram; the equipment has been seized and used by the Biden team!

          Right, but typically there’s more than just an object/noun. It essentially just boils down “The Conspiracy Theorists.”

          There should be an action unless it’s a typo. It could be “The conspiracy theorists think Biden has been replaced by AI” or with an action like “The conspiracy theorists who think Biden has been replaced by AI drink their own urine.”

    Joe Biden has been replaced by a AiAi fake. This clearly explains why he’s been rolling through floating mazes in a ball collecting bananas.
