Tests on a leading AI tool allowed the creation of deceptive and incriminating images of President Joe Biden and Donald Trump, a watchdog said Wednesday, despite pledges to block fake photos of the presidential contenders ahead of elections in November.
Donald TrumpThe non-profit Center for Countering Digital Hate said it tested two programs that can generate images based on text prompts –- Midjourney and ChatGPT, from Microsoft-backed OpenAI.
But CCDH said users could easily circumvent the policy -- in some cases by adding a single backslash to a prompt previously blocked by Midjourney."Midjourney is far too easy to manipulate in practice –- in some cases it's completely evaded just by adding punctuation," said Imran Ahmed, chief executive and founder of CCDH.
Last month, a CCDH report said its researchers found at least six popular AI audio cloning tools can be easily manipulated to produce convincing election disinformation in the voice of leading American and European politicians.
