First came the reports of body doubles. Now Russia’s President officially may have entered the world of artificial intelligence.
Knewz.com has learned about an “AI Vladimir Putin” music video that has emerged in the final days before he stands for reelection.
“For Russia, yes” comes across as a parody, as the pretend president raps and dances with other world leaders.
“We Russians are friends with whoever we want,” the fake Putin declares as the two-minute video begins. “You want to be friends? Admit it, Crimea is ours.”
The video shows him waving a small upside-down American flag, then tossing it aside as he raps, “Western politics is nonsense.”
“Russia will give an answer to the European hate,” a translated version of the video posted by The Daily Mirror tabloid in Britain says.
The fake Putin adds there’s no point in discussing anything with Europe because “they dance for America to the sound of coins.”
The video mocks President Biden as someone who “shakes hands with someone who isn’t there” and carries prompt cards in his suit pocket to remind him where he is.
The handshake reference is rooted in fact. In April 2022, Biden turned with his hand out for shaking after a speech in North Carolina, but The New York Post noted no one was on stage with him.
At one point in the music video, a lookalike for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz wakes up the United States leader that Donald Trump has called “Sleepy Joe.”
“Let the pensioner rest already,” the pretend Putin raps about Biden. “Let’s elect a billionaire in his place,” as a Trump actor with orange hair is shown.
“Maybe Bush killed Kennedy,” is a one-liner thrown in with a snoozing Biden in a longer clip posted by the Irish Sun. That refers to former U.S. Presidents who probably never met each other.
The Putin video goes on to declare “forever” friendship with Belarus as well as alliances with Beijing and Kazakhstan.
“Istanbul, they’re yes and no,” the AI Putin adds, perhaps not realizing the capital of Turkey is Ankara.
The video also makes fun of Scholz breathing in the palms of his hands and shows North Korea’s Kim Jong Un trying to press a red button, perhaps to launch a nuclear attack.
The video has more than 640,000 views on YouTube and is posted on TikTok as well. But who prepared it?
While that answer is not clear, it’s believed the video is connected to Putin’s reelection campaign. Russians will vote March 15-17.
An AI version of Putin actually asked the Russian leader a question during his year-end news conference, which Knewz.com covered in December.
Rumors that Putin has one or more body doubles have lingered since last year. RadarOnline.com mentioned one report in November 2023 that even a body double was ill and dying.
