Evaluation
The videos featuring Nigel Farage, Rishi Sunak, and Sir Keir Starmer playing Minecraft have caused quite a stir on social media. It seems that these videos were not actually created by the politicians themselves, but rather by an AI-assisted voice and video generator.
The facts
The videos in question were posted on a TikTok account for an app that specializes in generating podcasts with “lifelike voices”. While the videos are clearly meant to be satirical, the computer-generated voices bear a striking resemblance to the real-life politicians.
