Original: GOP’s Blackburn releases AI Kendrick Lamar video, to some criticism
Senator Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican, has released a campaign-style video featuring an AI-generated version of rapper Kendrick Lamar, drawing criticism over the use of artificial imagery and the unauthorised likeness of the artist.
