Story by Joe WilkinsLast week, shared we reported on a huge wave of AI-generated slop videos pedaling misinformation about people who receive Supplemental Nutritional Assistant Program, otherwise known as SNAP or food stamps.One of the most popular clips making the rounds appeared to show a man-on-the-street style news interview in which a Black woman explained how she bartered her SNAP aid for cash. The entire thing was AI — generated by OpenAI’s Sora 2, complete with the platform’s obvious watermark.While many quickly identified the video as racist AI propaganda, Fox News apparently missed the clues. Over the weekend, the network ran a story treating the digital SNAP fraudster and other AI characters as real people, using the malicious fiction to stir up anger against the aid program which primarily benefits children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.In addition to fake SNAP fraud, the Fox story referenced other videos showing AI-generated women complain that their children are taxpayer’s responsibilities, playing right into the biases of publication’s right-wing audience, complete with ludicrously stereotypical details clearly meant to whip racist viewers into a frenzy.“I have seven different baby daddies and none of ’em no good for me,” the Fox story quoted one of the nonexistent women as saying.Fox‘s story has since been rewritten almost entirely to acknowledge that the videos are fake, along with adding an extraordinary editor’s note acknowledging that that it “previously reported on some videos that appear to have been generated by AI without noting that.” Amazingly, it still tries to argue that poor and working class welfare recipients are spoiled by SNAP, which provides a cold food stipend averaging just $177 per recipient per month.
