Arstechnica · 8m

CNN has reported that Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, made inflammatory comments on a pornography website's message board over a decade ago. In response to the allegations, Robinson claimed that the comments were fabricated by AI. However, CNN's investigation found evidence linking Robinson to the username used on the website. This case highlights the "deep doubt" era, where individuals dismiss evidence by blaming AI-generated attacks. Such claims pose a challenge to the future of democracy and could lead to further division and the erosion of trust.
