But, according to the British newspaper, The Guardian, the real lessons were in the aftermath of the debate, as the interaction on social media platforms about the competition revealed that Republicans are using artificial intelligence To make their political views clear, Democrats don’t.
Republicans’ Use of Artificial Intelligence
Republicans’ reaction to AI focused on a disproven claim by their candidate, during which Trump said immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were “eating dogs and cats.”
The statement was not true, as ABC’s supervisors verified his statements with information from the city’s animal control commissioner, who did not receive any calls about such incidents, and after that, immigrants in the city faced real violence because of Trump’s false claim.
In the absence of real images of such an act that did not actually occur, Trump and his partners resorted to images created by artificial intelligence.

“They know who they’re rooting for tonight,” Trump Jr. tweeted during the debate, along with a fake image of three cats and a duck or goose watching the candidates face off on TV.

Democrats’ use of artificial intelligence
In the hours following the debate, there was no Harris She was the one who responded to the Republicans’ use of artificial intelligence, and she was even a global pop star. Taylor Swiftwhich explicitly targeted fake photos of her supporting Trump.
“I recently learned that an AI that shows me falsely endorsing Donald Trump for president has been posted on their site,” Swift wrote on Instagram. “This has really raised my concerns about AI and the risks of spreading misinformation. It has brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter.”
Swift, who has a fan base of hundreds of millions around the world, has expressed her support for Harris.
Harris herself did not post any “staged” photos, whether related to the debate or otherwise, but in the days following the debate with Trump, her campaign posted photos of Kamala as a child visiting her grandparents in India.
