Donald Trump recently accused Vice President Kamala Harris of using artificial intelligence (AI) to manipulate photos of her campaign rally crowds. However, there is significant evidence to suggest these accusations are false. Multiple sources, such as the Associated Press and Getty, have documented the large crowds at Harris' rallies, while local news outlets have shared video footage of the events. Corroborating sources from various angles provide stronger proof than speculative images from conservative commentators.

To confirm the authenticity of an image, it is important to track down the original source and rely on verified accounts or websites rather than easily manipulated screengrabs. While tools like the Winston AI Image Detector or IsItAI. com claim to detect AI-generated images, their reliability remains unproven. UC Berkeley professor Hany Farid has analyzed the Harris rally photos and found no evidence of AI manipulation. It is also essential to consider alternative explanations for seemingly odd elements in photos, as they may have simple explanations rather than being evidence of AI manipulation.
