Mozart would openly love the Mozart CupcakKe remix and play it at parties.

George Washington would claim to be above Brad Neely's "George Washington" but secretly would appreciate it.

Joe Biden may or may not claim to like the AI gaming videos but secretly appreciate them; Barack Obama would absolutely claim to like them but secretly be annoyed; Donald Trump would just hate them obviously.

I'm not 100% sure that donald trump could tell that a deepfake of him was fake. I think we should run this experiment. If we showed him fake footage of himself making some outrageous, un-trump-like claim, would he then immediately come to believe those are his words and beliefs? trump's entire deal is that he exists in a hall of mirrors created by the deluge of media about himself, after all

I like this idea a lot, and I think that the following approach might be effective: create "deep fakes" that match up maybe 90-95% with actual video clips of Trump, moments that he's genuinely proud of (you could probably find out what clips of himself he likes to retweet, because surely he retweets himself right?) only with some little twist thrown in, like a stealth assertion of leftist doctrine or some such thing. try to keep it semi-subliminal, I say!

...I liked the old "Mission: Impossible" maybe way too much when I was younger, huh

A similar experiment has already been run!

Back in the Halcyon days of 2016 Gawker got Trump to accept credit for a Mussolini quote just by tweeting the attribution to him. So yes, in his mental process for determining "did this really happen," the ground truth of whether it really happened is not the only (or even strongest) input signal being considered.

My suspicion is that the messenger is more important than the message. Whatever deepfake you make, the thing that will make him believe it is you pose as a fawning sycophant while showing it to him.
