Got nothing to base this on but intuition, and inspired thought.
What my mind just saw was that AI will be playing a dominate part in this debate. It's like Trump is not going to be debating with a human at all, but with a DebateBot that has been specifically designed to debate Trump and win.
This bot will not appear as super intelligence, that would be a giveaway, but responses from Biden, and pushback from moderators will be AI driven such that the perfect counter is put forward, but with the flaws and patterns that make everything sound legit.
So Trump is going to stand there and watch that facade and not comment on it?
The AI would have to (1) manipulate Joe’s lips (2) the voice would have to be silenced (3) while AI voice is played.
Thats a lot to do right in front of Trump (and the world) without notice.
I have no idea, but those that think this is impossible in my view are underestimating how advanced AI has become, which is much further than we've been lead to believe.
This was just a wild thought I had, which was that AI would play some part based on the thinking that you don't have a Mickey Mantel on the team, and not play him.
Trump will have no idea what is actually being broadcast.
