Senate GOP uses James Talarico's words against him with AI attack ad

EXCLUSIVE — The campaign arm of Senate Republicans is using a new deepfake ad generated by AI to spotlight past tweets from Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico that the GOP hopes will undermine his bid to flip the Lone Star State.

In a nearly 1.5-minute digital ad first seen by the Washington Examiner, an AI-generated Talarico narrates what the National Republican Senatorial Committee calls some of the Texas state representative’s “extreme statements praising transgenderism, twisting Christian beliefs, and advocating for open borders.”
