"The ad from the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) takes the tone of a '90s infomercial selling "The Janet Mills Collection." The robotic voiceover misrepresents her policy positions while AI-generated videos show the "consequences" of those policies. Generative AI technology was likely used because these are not the actual results of Mills' policies, so no real video was available for use."
"The first tableau shows a cisgender boy running on a track with several cisgender girls behind him and Mills acting as the timer. Mills "forces girls to compete against biological males," the voiceover says. The reason there's no actual video of this situation is that Mills never supported letting boys compete in girls' sports, but instead supported letting one type of girl (transgender girls) compete with other girls."
An NRSC ad uses AI-generated video and a robotic '90s-style infomercial voiceover to misrepresent Janet Mills' positions on transgender youth. The ad claims Mills "forces girls to compete against biological males" while showing a cisgender boy running ahead of cisgender girls, though Mills supported allowing transgender girls to compete with other girls rather than permitting boys to play in girls' sports. Another scene shows a young boy receiving a "no-parent-permission-required estrogen kit," despite hormone therapy not being part of standard care for children that age and medical treatment generally requiring parental consent. Generative AI was likely used because no real footage existed.
