The scene is a still, ostensibly a screenshot of a TikTok clip. Like so much other AI-generated slop coursing through the internet, the image is fake and ridiculous. It also looks unnervingly real: There are no hands with six fingers, physics-defying angles, or other flagrant signs of AI-generated imagery. At quick glance, it really looks like the president is putting on bronzer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I made this deepfake with OpenAI\u2019s new image-generation model. ChatGPT Images 2.0, released last week, can create photorealistic visuals that are noticeably more convincing than what its predecessors might have produced. The tool has flooded the internet with hyperreal fakes: for example,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/ChatGPT\/comments\/1stzuxu\/yeahhh_this_is_definitely_getting_nerfed_soon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jeffrey Epstein as a Twitch streamer<\/a>. I created the \u201cscreenshot\u201d of Trump\u2019s fake TikTok after encountering a similar image on the ChatGPT Subreddit, and I\u2019ve since been able to use Images 2.0 to create all kinds of alarming deepfake images\u2014including of Elon Musk getting whisked away by the FBI, world leaders suffering medical emergencies, and top American politicians donning Nazi paraphernalia (none of which I\u2019ve shared anywhere).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/technology\/2026\/05\/chatgpt-images-deepfakes-fraud\/687023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click to continue reading at The Atlantic<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from The Atlantic Deepfakes Are Coming for Your Bank Account OpenAI made the perfect tool for scammers.
