Benzinga - A recent incident involving Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has brought attention to the alarming world of deepfakes.
What Happened: An ultra-realistic video of DeSantis, morphed into the character of Michael Scott from "The Office," has gone viral on Twitter, shedding light on the potential dangers posed by artificial intelligence, or AI, when it falls into the wrong hands.
In the deep fake video, DeSantis' face has been seamlessly superimposed onto the character of Michael Scott. The clip originates from an episode of "The Office" called "The Negotiation."
In the scene, a warehouse worker humorously questions DeSantis-as-Scott's fashion choices, teasing him about wearing "lady clothes."
The deep fake DeSantis responds defensively, asserting that it is a power suit and emphatically denies buying women's clothing.
The deepfake video gained significant traction after being shared on Twitter by Donald Trump Jr., who captioned it, "DeSantis does seem to spend a lot of time in high heels."
