Recent social media posts and YouTube videos have falsely claimed that São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas and 12 other governors, often referred to as 'Bolsonaro's governors', signed a letter requesting federal intervention in Brazil's Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal, STF). The claim has been labeled as fake and stems from a misleading video created using artificial intelligence, which gives a visually deceptive representation of events.

The original video, published on YouTube on February 4, has amassed over 225,000 views but has been replicated across various channels, spreading misinformation. In this video, a synthetic audio narrates a fabricated scenario where Tarcísio is depicted as leading governors to sign a controversial letter. The use of AI-generated imagery and voice synthesis contributes to the video's misleading nature, making it difficult for viewers to discern the authenticity of the content.

This incident highlights the issue of misinformation propagation in the digital age, especially involving politically sensitive subjects. With elections approaching, the spread of such false narratives could have significant implications for public perception and political dynamics in Brazil, necessitating a greater effort to combat misinformation across social media platforms.
