Comment by Mark Spreitzer

“The use of AI to create a political ad is not inherently good or bad. Generative AI could be used to create a clever animation to illustrate a candidate’s views, or it could be used to create a realistic-looking video clip that makes it look like their opponent said something they never did.” “[...] This bill will leave it up to voters to determine whether what they are seeing or hearing is “fair,” but it will give voters the information to know that what they are seeing or hearing may not be “real.”

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote is directly about a bill requiring disclosure when AI is used in political ads: it discusses AI-created political ads and says the bill would give voters information that what they see or hear may not be real. That matches the full statement about mandating disclosure of AI-generated political advertising. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago

AI Verified The quote argues that "this bill ... will give voters the information to know that what they are seeing or hearing may not be 'real,'" which is a clear rationale in favor of requiring disclosure of AI-generated political ads. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago

AI Verified ai_verified: A March 21, 2024 press release quoting Sen. Mark Spreitzer contains the two sentences with the same wording, and a March 22, 2024 Baylor Spears article syndicated at News From The States repeats them and attributes them to Spreitzer. Search snippets from the cited Wisconsin Examiner URL also show the same wording, so the quote is real and correctly attributed to Mark Spreitzer.

AI Verified Quote verified via web search results. The exact text "The use of AI to create a political ad is not inherently good or bad. Generative AI could be used to create a clever animation to illustrate a candidate's views, or it could be used to create a realistic-looking video clip that makes it look like their opponent said something they never did." is attributed to Wisconsin State Senator Mark Spreitzer, who was the Democratic author of the bill. Source URL (Wisconsin Examiner) was 403-blocked from WebFetch. Vote alignment "for" matches the statement "Mandate disclosure of AI-generated political advertising" - Spreitzer authored the bill. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
