AI-generated videos are being used to simulate press support for President Lula. Posts use deepfake of Brazilian journalists such as William Bonner and Miriam Leitão to spread disinformation.
One of them, which circulated on Instagram, used technology for a virtual attack, portraying the journalist as an elderly person wearing dirty clothes. “Do you remember our beloved President Lula promising that the poor would be part of the budget? Well, he delivered. Every day, the poor have to figure out how to make that budget work,” she says.
