AI CROWD COUNTER Debunks Trump’s Bogus Crowd Size Claims
Software doesn’t play politics. That’s handy in catching lies about crowd sizes.
“Trumpworld Claims 25,000 People Attended His Rally. Aerial Shots Show Otherwise. Aerial footage, and The Daily Beast’s reporter in attendance, suggested otherwise… The Daily Beast had a reporter in attendance, who estimated about 1,000 people were there.” — Daily Beast
How do you spot bogus claims about crowd sizes? We used the free YesChat AI Crowd Counter app to estimate the crowdsize based on an aerial photo of Trump’s rally. The app is fast and simple. Upload a photo of the rally and the app estimates the size of the crowd.
How AI counts crowds
“Crowd scientists don’t painstakingly count every single head in photographs of huge crowds. Instead, they typically count the number of people in certain parts of images where they know the size of the area, and then extrapolate (extend) from there to come up with total crowd count estimates across a larger area.”
AI help spot political BS
Crowd counts for politically events such as presidential inaugurations can sometimes spark controversy… Trump’s presidential inauguration and the next day’s Women’s March in Washington, D.C., that coincided with related women’s marches in many cities and towns across the globe…Trump’s claims do not hold up based on the available measures. — Spectrum IEEEE
“Trump campaigned on the huge crowd sizes, but the turnout for Trump’s inauguration appears to be smaller than that of his predecessor as measured by side-by-side photos of the two events. But the side-by-side images of Trump’s ceremony alongside the 2009 inauguration of President Barack Obama show a significantly smaller crowd on the National Mall for Trump than for Obama.
There is empty ground exposed in the Trump photos. The same spots were almost entirely covered eight years ago, when estimates at the time suggested 1.8 million people attended the inauguration.” — CNN
