Yesterday's false claim by Trump that Harris is generating fake big crowds with AI was a true Captain Queeg moment, maybe the most bat-guano crazy thing I've seen in 40 years of covering presidential elections
Neither NYT nor Washington Post is promoting it on their home page

The Kamala Harris campaign has hit back at Donald Trump amid back-and-forth attacks between the 2024 presidential election candidates over the size of the crowds at their rallies, suggesting Trump may not have the stamina to keep up with her campaigning.
15,000 people are believed to have greeted Harris and her new running mate Tim Walz at Detroit Metropolitan Airport on Wednesday.
Hany Farid, a professor at UC Berkeley specializing in image analysis and digital forensics, posted the image on LinkedIn, writing, "I've analyzed this image with two GetReal Labs models designed to detect different patterns associated with AI-generated images.
Both of these models reveal no evidence of AI-generation. In addition, the text on the signs and plane show none of the usual signs of generative AI. While the lack of evidence of manipulation is not evidence the image is real. We find no evidence that this image is AI-generated or digitally altered."
On Sunday, the Harris campaign also responded to the attack on Truth Social with a video of the crowd at the rally and the comment, "In case you forgot @realdonaldtrump: This is what a rally in a swing state looks like."

So far in the 2024 election cycle, the Harris campaign has been on a swing state tour, including rallies in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada. They also planned to stop in Georgia and North Carolina, however these were canceled due to Storm Debby, a tropical cyclone that caused extensive flooding and damage across South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia.
