Taylor Swift cites AI deepfakes in endorsement for Kamala Harris
Taylor Swift on AI: "The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth."
@arstechnica showing your Conde Nast roots in the ambiguity of this headline, which suggests the deepfakes were of her endorsement of Harris, not the faked ones of Trump.
@arstechnica
Next time you send a deceiving title like this Arstechnica, I will block your idiotic ass
@arstechnica @Chancerubbage @pthenq1 there's nothing grammatically wrong with Ars Technica's headline for this article.
My fiancée (who is a bit of a Swiftee) and I are both proud of Taylor for her positive response to what was a hijacking of her image for ill-gotten political gain.
If one somehow did not already know the background, the headline as worded could be parsed as laying the angering deepfake onto the wrong party.
@arstechnica sentence phrasing is definitely ambiguous. All they needed to do was insert a comma in place of the "in" to avoid confusion. The misleading title was intentional.
