Get ready for an AI-influenced world, especially as we approach elections and social media sharing intensifies. Keep in mind, not everything you see or hear may be completely truthful. Political experts are already noticing some misuse of AI in local races. If you haven't taken the time to research your candidate thoroughly or haven't voted much before, now is a great moment to start. Take time to learn about your candidates so you can make a wise, confident choice. Remember, this isn't the moment to pick someone just because they look like you. While honesty and truthfulness are often missing in current politics, we always have the power to choose someone better, regardless of gender.
I often watch YouTube streams of kittens and puppies to help me unwind. Lately, I've been amazed by how incredible the animals are behaving. For example, the cats are actually pointing to the dog when asked who caused a mess around the house. Isn't that amazing? Videos now feature animals and babies talking! It's fascinating to see how AI might be used in the future to make these kinds of interactions possible.
Already, we are seeing it being used on stars like:
Tom Hanks: His AI-generated image and voice were used in a dental plan advertisement without his knowledge or consent.
Drake and The Weeknd: An AI-generated song titled "Heart On My Sleeve," which used AI-cloned vocals from both artists, went viral and was submitted for a Grammy award before being removed from streaming services by Universal Music Group.
Other figures have voluntarily engaged with AI for creative or commercial purposes:
The Beatles: AI technology was used to isolate John Lennon's voice from an old demo for their 2023 release "Now and Then," allowing for audio restoration and a final song.
James Earl Jones: In retirement, the actor worked with a Ukrainian startup and Disney to preserve his iconic Darth Vader voice using AI, enabling the generation of new dialogue for future Star Wars projects.
Some political candidates are now using AI, while others prefer to keep it from swaying voters. America finds itself at another critical crossroads. States are eager to create AI regulations, but this administration is trying to stop them. Is that really happening? For now, it’s often just clickbait to read or watch. It can be tricky to know what’s true from what we see or hear. The one thing I trust completely is God’s Word.
