Former President Donald Trump has claimed that a compilation of his verbal gaffes, showcased during the Robert Hur hearing, was artificially generated. Trump's assertion, made on Truth Social, came after videos highlighting his mispronunciations, slurred speech, and confusion over names of people and places were presented. He suggested that Democrats, in collaboration with President Biden, used artificial intelligence (AI) to create these montages. Despite Trump's claims, investigations by media outlets, including Gizmodo, have confirmed that the videos were not AI-generated. This controversy arose as Trump celebrated securing the Republican nomination for president.
