Artificial intelligence is being used to steal voices, faces, and reputations. Victor Davis Hanson knows this firsthand.
Hanson explains the growing problem of AI-generated deepfake videos that falsely use his image, voice, and setting to promote ideas he has never expressed and often strongly disagrees with. He breaks down this dishonest and unethical practice and why it’s harmful to public discourse on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
In this episode of The Mel K Show, I am thrilled to welcome back my friend Chaz Holloway, author of Free World Theory. His work has challenged so many of us, myself included, to think differently about words, meanings, and the deeper truths behind the systems we live in.
Chaz explains how AI has rapidly moved from science fiction into everyday reality. Jobs are being lost, deep fakes are flooding the internet, and bot armies are influencing public opinion on a massive scale. These are not small adjustments to our daily lives. They are fundamental shifts in how society functions, and most people have barely begun to grasp what they mean.
We discuss the dangers of AI being weaponized to create new systems of control, including facial recognition, surveillance, and the potential for social credit scoring modeled after authoritarian regimes. Chaz highlights that many of the very engineers building these systems are now sounding alarms, warning that the consequences may be beyond anyone’s ability to stop once certain thresholds are crossed.

Glenn Beck says he’s addressed the AI and deep fakes issue for years and adds that the day will come when you can no longer trust your eyes and ears.
He points to Tom Hanks recently warning his fans that a company is using an A.I. version of him to advertise a dental plan without his consent. Says Beck, “It won’t stop at fake Tom Hanks ads. What happens when artificial intelligence is used to create a scandal or crisis?”
Are we facing a truth crisis? Beck elaborates, plus more.
The rise in artificial intelligence technology spurs some genuine concerns. In particular, artificial intelligence plays a disruptive role on the Internet. Deep fakes have existed for several years, but now, we are seeing them with increasing frequency.
Soon, we will see technology we can no longer trust, a technology that competes with us and poses a threat as an enemy. More from Computing Forever.
