Mediaite published a pair of stories last month about audio it reported was the voice of Roger Stone, an influential advisor to Donald Trump and a frequent target of the outlet.
AI detection software and several experts say the 19-second audio is AI-generated...
Mediaite reporter Diana Falzone claims the audio... reveals Stone discussing the assassination of Democratic Congressmen Jerry Nadler and Eric Swalwell...
Before publishing the story, Falzone requested comment and provided Stone with a written transcript of the supposed recording, but declined to share a copy of the audio, tell Stone how she obtained it, or who gave it to her.
Stone replied to Mediaite, “Total nonsense. I’ve never said anything of the kind; more AI manipulation. You asked me to respond to audios that you don’t let me hear and you don’t identify a source for. Absurd.”
Stone added that if Mediaite did post an audio, it would have to be AI-generated, since he had never said the words attributed to him.
...Mediaite published a second story including a 19-second audio...the alleged Stone’s voice says something different than the original story.
Falzone on Twitter then flailed back & forth about how much, or even whether, she had edited the audio.
Common sense suggests the authenticity of the audio is suspect.
For one thing, the speaker speaks with a monotone characteristic of AI generated voices...the voice is heard distinctly above the background voices nearby, which were possibly added to give the audio authenticity, as if the setting was a crowded restaurant... [when really,] Caffé Europa is comparatively small...We are asked to believe that Roger Stone, who would be known [there] by sight, would be talking about killing two Congressmen in a tone loud enough to be overheard by anyone
You can bet these crude flaws will be fixed in the next attempt, on whoever.
The fakes will get "better". Be warned.
[Fakery] detection software is trained with [AI] to identify [AI]...AI Voice Detector [was used] to analyze the Mediaite audio...The software found a 92.6 percent probability that AI generated the audio...[with] “has to die before the election” [at] higher probability of being generated by AI.
[AIVD] offered credit to the person behind the audio in its X post.
“They included background music and noise to bypass the other AI Detectors. However, our[s] detected that this recording was produced using an AI voice. Nice Try!”
[A hip music producer then] published his clone of Biden, saying, “Let’s go find Swalwell and get it over with. And yes, I stole the 2020 election.”
[Meanwhile] Stone [used] DeepFakeDetector and published the screenshots on X.
[DFD] determined a 95.80 percent likelihood that the audio was AI-generated.
Remember: It's an arms race. AI fakery-creators will learn from AI fakery-detectors & get "better".
