I&#8217;m not surprised this guy doesn&#8217;t have the intelligence to recognize this fact, but I wonder if he has the integrity to delete it now that he knows it&#8217;s false.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;If not, it could be defamation. I guess we&#8217;ll find out!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Reports from the\u00a0<a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uniladtech.com\/news\">BBC<\/a>, along with other sources and the X platform itself, have since verified that the clip was created using AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The audio is grainy and distorted, giving the impression it might have been secretly recorded. But there&#8217;s also no clear source or explanation of how someone supposedly got access to a private recording of the vice president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">William Martin, the VP&#8217;s communications director backed Vance up on the platform, writing: &#8220;This audio is 100% fake and most certainly not the Vice President.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">But not everyone is convinced as some X users are still questioning whether it\u2019s really fake or just a cover-up.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This audio is 100% fake and most certainly not the Vice President. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9NcbMDqvpA\">https:\/\/t.co\/9NcbMDqvpA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 William Martin (@wsmartin218) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wsmartin218\/status\/1903969126013399396?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 24, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;ngl if this is ai, is the most realistic ai deepfake of a voice i\u2019ve ever heard,&#8221; one commented.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;Maybe it is AI-fake, who knows? You denying it definitely makes it more, not less likely it is real,&#8221; another chimed in and someone else argued: &#8220;The fact that you had to post a denial is incredibly suspicious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Meanwhile, others are saying the audio &#8216;doesn\u2019t sound like Vance&#8217; and it&#8217;s &#8216;absolutely fake.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">And this kind of situation might become more common.
