Spencer Pratt reposted a scathing AI-generated attack video the day before his Los Angeles mayoral debate with incumbent Karen Bass. The clip, produced by filmmaker Charlie Curran and circulated under titles like "LA is worth saving," uses dramatic imagery, including flames engulfing the Hollywood sign and a Batman-like portrayal of Pratt, to depict the city as a bleak hellscape under Bass. The video repeats hardline claims that Democrats have allowed squatters to occupy properties for up to a year, says landlords face roughly $100,000 in legal fees, and asserts the city spends about $170 million on tenant lawyers. By amplifying AI-made visuals and policy assertions on the eve of the debate, Pratt pushed synthetic media into the campaign spotlight and highlighted how AI can reshape voter impressions before a major event.
