In an embarrassing video, Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official, mistakenly referred to the FBI as the "FBI of New York" instead of its proper name. This gaffe was part of a larger propaganda effort using AI-generated content. Patel's mistake has sparked ridicule and criticism, with some questioning the effectiveness of such propaganda efforts.
