33. Of course it's not your video.

Instead, it was your choice to post that video here in General Discussion. Did you think it depicted an actual recorded scene of Trump and some medical professional? I don't know the answer to that question. Nor do I care.

My point was to make it clear that it is an AI image or video. There are no photos of Trump being treated by any medical person.

Many people post questionable videos and images here on DU. When I notice that, I sometimes mention it in a reply to an OP that does that. Why? Because we cannot trust images and videos these days. It's too easy to have an AI program create a video or image containing anything you can think up. That often causes confusion.

Clickbait podcasts and fake videos that use words and images that are not truthful help no cause. Instead, they provide yet one more source of inaccurate or downright faked information. Many people accept such things as truthful and share them widely.

I find that to be disturbing, since it spreads more nonsense to more people and makes truthful information questionable. Who are we to trust for information?

So, I comment on such AI crap when I recognize it. If you post it, I will comment, and so will several others who value truth as the only acceptable standard.

Do whatever you want, but do not expect that false information will not be called out. I will call it out and so will many other people here.

Why would anyone do that in front of a window? Are we sure that's not fake? These scream YouTube things are Srkdqltr Dec 12 #4

No, I personally can't/don't vouch for the picture. The podcaster's content is credible for me (who am I). UTUSN Dec 12 #5

That is not the point. The title of the video is false. There was no leak of which meds Trump is on. Celerity Dec 13 #15

Don't tell me what *my* point is. Your idee fixe about the non-leak and the guessing UTUSN Dec 13 #20

I was not telling you what your point was, I was telling you what MY point was. Celerity Dec 13 #23

You will contradict anything I say to you. (Now say you won't and therefore agree.) So let's wave from the UTUSN Dec 13 #31
