Donald Trump humiliated by TV star over BBC AI claims
Donald Trump made a claim that BBC had used AI in their Panorama documentary.
Donald Trump appeared on 60 Overtime for a sit-down interview and in the midst of the questions he was asked, he was quizzed on his ongoing battle with the BBC over them admitting to splicing footage together that "spoke hate". Trump is currently suing the corporation for $10billion, but he has now claimed that they used AI to change his words. He said on the show: "They had my lips speaking words of hate, tremendous hate, that I never said.
"They had me making a major statement but it wasn't me, it was my lips, my face, and they were in sync, but it wasn't me. I can't believe it." The BBC has stated that the Panorama documentary showed excerpts taken from different parts of the speech. Top news anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy posted Trump's claim and dismissed it immediately.
He wrote: "Trump in his 60 Minutes interview for CBS now falsely claims the BBC used AI to fake his Panorama clips from Jan 6th, rather than what they did which was a misleading edit of his actual speech. And nobody corrects him. He seems also to actually believe it. Going to make settling the case quite tricky."
People were quick to join in in the comments as one user called the US President a "buffoon" for believing it was edited with AI, asking: "Does nobody in his administration speak to this fool and correct him?"
Another said: "Why do people not question him? Are they scared of being berated?" While a third wrote: "Honestly, is anyone still listening to anything Trump has to say?"

In November, the BBC apologised to the US President for a Panorama episode, saying in a statement: "We accept that our edit unintentionally created the impression that we were showing a single continuous section of the speech, rather than excerpts from different points in the speech, and that this gave the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action."
However, they continued: "While the BBC sincerely regrets the manner in which the video clip was edited, we strongly disagree there is a basis for a defamation claim."
The US President has maintained his stance in suing the corporation.
