The White House found itself at the center of yet another AI-generated video controversy — but this time it went a step further. Rather than merely sharing questionable content, officials circulated a fabricated clip that appeared to attribute disparaging remarks about Canada to U.S. hockey winger Brady Tkachuk.
The AI-generated video featured a voice resembling Tkachuk describing Canadians as “maple syrup eating (expletive).” The slur was censored with a beep. Although the clip included a small disclaimer noting it was AI-generated, that didn’t stop some viewers from believing the comments reflected Tkachuk’s real views.
