AI-generated campaign videos portraying Nithya Raman and Mayor Karen Bass negatively while boosting Spencer Pratt have circulated online. Raman criticized the use of such videos, saying promoting her campaign with AI content in Los Angeles, a major entertainment hub, feels insulting to workers. Michelson responded that sharing others’ AI videos is not the same as doing so. Pratt has reposted several viral clips on his official X account, even though the videos were not created by his campaign. A new Emerson College poll conducted May 9–10 found Bass leading with 30% support, Pratt at 22%, and Raman at 19%, with undecided voters beginning to choose ahead of the June 2 primary.
"“My husband works in Hollywood and to promote your campaign with AI videos in a city that is the core of our entertainment industry feels deeply insulting to so many workers across this city,” Raman said."
"“He would say he's just sharing out other people's AI videos... and that's not what he's doing,” Michelson responded."
"Raman was referring to a wave of AI-generated videos portraying both her and incumbent Mayor Karen Bass negatively while boosting Pratt's campaign. Although the clips were not created by the Pratt campaign itself, Pratt has reposted several of the viral videos on his official X account."
"The Emerson polling, conducted May 9-10 ahead of the June 2 primary election, showed all three candidates gaining support as undecided voters begin locking in their choices. The survey found Bass leading the field with 30% support, followed by Pratt at 22%, while Raman trailed in third place with 19%."
