LFI Faces Backlash Over AI-Generated Image of Cyril Hanouna Deemed Antisemitic
The controversial image, created using Elon Musk's AI tool Grok, has drawn widespread condemnation, with LFI admitting its publication was an error.
- A visual shared by La France Insoumise (LFI) depicting TV host Cyril Hanouna has been widely criticized as antisemitic and reminiscent of Nazi-era caricatures.
- The image was generated using Grok, an AI tool developed by Elon Musk, according to LFI deputy Paul Vannier.
- Vannier admitted the use of the AI tool was a mistake, citing a longstanding party policy against such software, and stated measures are being implemented to prevent similar incidents.
- The image, initially intended to promote anti-racism protests, was quickly removed following public outrage and political condemnation across the spectrum.
- Cyril Hanouna, of Jewish Tunisian descent, has announced plans to pursue legal action against LFI over the incident.
