Trump's video on Kirk appears to be AI(contested in comments) (apnews.com)

Trump delivered to us this uncanny video in which he denounces the killing of Kirk and blames the left’s rhetoric as the sole cause of this unfathomable act.

Am I crazy, or is this obviously AI?

There is software (I think it comes with Adobe stuff) that allows you subtly morph/crossfade instead of jumpcut, so if the speaker pauses or flubs a line you can remove it without an obvious, distracting jump.

I think that’s probably what we’re seeing here.

Except if you look up footage from him at the 9/11 memorial today it looks like he had a fucking stroke. I'll edit with a link in a sec.

Wow he does look terrible here.

Yeah, that's morph cut in Premiere, which they added a decade ago. There's also generative extend, which is the more recent AI addition.
