Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) displayed a poster of an AI-generated image falsely depicting the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti — in which one AI-created federal agent is clearly missing a head — while delivering remarks on the Senate floor.
“This weekend, federal agents gunned down yet another American in Minneapolis,” the senator said. “Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse.”
“I’m going to show a photo of that scene, which is graphic, but I’m afraid it’s necessary to appreciate the horror of the moment,” Durbin continued, before displaying an AI-generated image falsely depicting last weekend’s fatal shooting on the Senate floor.
“This photo shows the last second, before the ICE agent killed Alex Pretti on the streets of Minneapolis,” the Democrat lawmaker added, getting yet another piece of information wrong, as the 37-year-old was shot by a border patrol agent — not ICE.
The senator’s X post sharing the video of his remarks was quickly ratioed.
