AI resurrects MLK to endorse GOP congressional candidate​

"I have another dream! Yes, it is me, Martin Luther King. I came back from the dead to say something ... Anthony Hudson will be Michigan 8th District's next congressman."

[After the candidate initially apologized...]

Just a few hours later, though, Hudson performed a stunning 180 and claimed he'd now decided "not only to keep my campaign staffer, but also give him a raise as I believe MLK would be disgusted at the complete suffering of Flint Michigan residents under the current administration's watch."

He added, "If MLK were alive today- I do believe he would endorse me and my vision for a better Michigan."

MLK is my guy. People, especially politicians, should never deepfake MLK. This AI junk has got to go, and should only be used for academic or home use, not for politics. Also, Anthony Hudson is white, and is a MAGAdonian, so this is doubly bad.

For reference:

Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights leader and Baptist minister was a Christian historical figure who experienced rejection and fulfilled God's mission despite facing obstacles. Throughout his career, King advocated for racial equality and social justice through nonviolent means, inspiring millions of people around the world.

However, King also faced fierce opposition from those who opposed his message of unity and equality. He received numerous death threats, was arrested multiple times, and ultimately assassinated at the age of 39. Despite these challenges, King remained committed to his cause and believed that he was carrying out God's will. In his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, he declared, "With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood."

King's unwavering commitment to justice and equality continues to inspire generations of activists and believers today, demonstrating how one person can make a profound impact on the world when they align themselves with God's purposes and remain steadfast in the face of adversity.

A fair number of your fellow forumskateers were alive when the Reverend Doctor King was assassinated and while it’s somewhat pleasant to see a “youngun” learnin’, we don’t need to witness it happening, all of the time.
”They” called Dr King a communist, too, back-in-the-day, some still do.
