www.washingtonexaminer.comHere’s what’s currently notable about Spencer Pratt’s AI ads in the Los Angeles mayoral race, based on recent coverage:
- Pratt has been releasing AI-generated attack and counter-attack ads as part of his LA mayoral campaign, which have drawn substantial attention on social media and in commentary.[1][2][3]
- Critics and commentators have described the AI ads as impactful and entertaining, with some calling them "absolute bangers" and a new model for campaign messaging, though reception among voters is mixed and still developing.[2]
- The ads often portray Pratt in superhero/heroic roles and depict opponents in exaggerated scenarios to highlight policy criticisms, generating broad discussion about the role of AI in political advertising.[3][1]
