AI-generated ads target Tennessee midterm elections

An AI-generated political attack mailer depicting Democratic candidate Angie Lawless alongside President Trump and Cade Cothren is circulating in Southern Davidson County ahead of the Tennessee midterm election. The mailer, paid for by the LGBTQ Victory Fund, which endorsed Lawless's opponent Mark Proctor, falsely links Lawless to Trump through a character reference letter she wrote for Cothren. Proctor denied campaign involvement in the ad's creation.
