A video which shows a TV news host reporting on an alleged poll about if Lula (PT) should run for president in the next elections was created by artificial intelligence. In the content, spread through TikTok, a woman asks users to like and share the post in case they support Lula’s candidacy. The video has synthetic characteristics such as robotic aspect and the presence of the watermark of an image bank website.

The post composes a social media trend where videos simulate news reporting to get likes and followers on fake profiles, as reported by Aos Fatos.
