NEW from me + @BrandyZadrozny:
The Deepfake Peddling a Hunter Biden Dossier
How a fake persona laid the groundwork for a Hunter Biden conspiracy deluge
A 64-page document that was later disseminated by close associates of President Donald Trump appears to be the work of a fake "intelligence firm."

Months before the NY Post story, a document passed around far-right websites detailed a vast Hunter Biden conspiracy.
The document's creator, Martin Aspen, claimed to be a Swiss intel professional.
But Aspen's face was created by AI. He doesn't exist.

A Hunter Biden-China dossier made the rounds among so many people in the rightwing internet. Steve Bannon, Newt Gingrich, even Q from QAnon.
It was created by a fake person with an AI-generated face.

I'm not sure there was a more important piece of disinformation reporting in the last couple of years than this profile of a website that instantly makes AI-generated faces.
It's proving to be a big weapon in the information war.
These people do not exist. Why websites are churning out fake images of people (and cats)
The young girl on the computer screen is adorable, with rosy cheeks, blue-gray eyes, wispy red toddler hair and lips just hinting at a smile.
