田纳西州共和党联邦参议员玛莎·布莱克本周二发布了一段视频。该视频似乎借助人工智能技术,让她看起来酷似说唱歌手肯德里克·拉马尔在2025年超级碗第59届中场秀上的模样。
Tennessee Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn on Tuesday released a video appearing to use artificial intelligence to have her resemble rapper Kendrick Lamar during his 2025 Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show performance.
视频中,正在竞选州长职务的布莱克本站在橄榄球场上,身旁有众议员蒂姆·伯切特(田纳西州共和党人)、联邦参议员比尔·哈格蒂(田纳西州共和党人)、州参议员布伦特·泰勒(共和党人)以及WWE职业摔角手凯恩。这位摔角手的真名是格伦·托马斯·雅各布斯,直到去年9月他还担任着田纳西州诺克斯县的县长。
The video depicts Blackburn, who is running for governor, on a football field, backed up by Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), state Sen. Brent Taylor (R) and WWE professional wrestler Kane. The wrestler, whose real name is Glenn Thomas Jacobs, served as the mayor of Knox County, Tenn., until last September.
视频里,布莱克本对着麦克风演唱,背景音乐正是拉马尔的《Not Like Us》。这首歌曲是拉马尔针对说唱歌手德雷克的“回击曲”,他也在中场秀上演唱了此曲。
Blackburn is seen in the video singing into a microphone, with Lamar’s “Not Like Us” playing in the background. Lamar played the song, a diss track against fellow rapper Drake, during the halftime show.
布莱克本将这段视频发布到了社交平台X上,配文写道:“明天,蓄势待发。”众多网友在评论区对视频予以抨击,有人称其为“劣质AI产物”,也有人要求她立即撤下视频。
The Tennessee Republican posted the video to the social platform X, with the caption: “Tomorrow. Ready to roll.”Comments on the post slammed the video, with some calling it “AI slop” while others urged that she take the video down.
还有一条评论配上了一张照片:上个月末,前特别检察官杰克·史密斯在参议院司法委员会作证时,密苏里州共和党参议员埃里克·施密特及其工作人员误把爱荷华鹰眼队说成了亚特兰大老鹰队,阿拉巴马州共和党参议员凯蒂·布里特看到这一情况后露出了惊讶的表情。
Another comment reacted to the video with a photo of Sen. Katie Britt’s (R-Ala.) reaction after Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) and his staff appeared to mix up the Iowa Hawkeyes for the Atlanta Hawks during former special counsel Jack Smith’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee late last month.
针对这段视频,布莱克本的民主党竞选对手杰里·格林在X上写道:“我之前说‘请停止使用AI来助力我们的竞选活动’,指的就是这种情况。”
“When I say please stop using AI to support our campaign, this is what I mean,” Blackburn’s Democratic gubernatorial opponent, Jerri Green, wrote on X in response to the video.
目前,肯德里克·拉马尔尚未对布莱克本发布的视频作出公开回应,他的经纪团队也尚未发布任何声明。
Lamar has not publicly reacted to Blackburn’s video, nor have his representatives released a statement.
2025年5月,多位音乐艺人向议员们反映相关情况后,布莱克本曾公开反对未经授权或许可便使用AI制作深度伪造内容的行为。随后,她与明尼苏达州民主党参议员艾米·克洛布查尔、北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯以及特拉华州民主党参议员克里斯·库恩斯共同提出了《反深度伪造法案》,旨在保护个人及创作者的声音与肖像不被擅自使用。
Blackburn has spoken out against the use of deepfakes made with AI without licensing or approval after musical artists approached lawmakers in May 2025. She and Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Chris Coons (D-Del.) introduced the No Fakes Act to protect the voice and visual likenesses of individuals and creators from being used without permission.
“这项法案能为这些创作者提供额外的保护。无论是有人模仿他们的声音还是抄袭他们的作品,他们都能拥有法律上的依据来捍卫自身及自己的创作成果,”布莱克本在2024年11月举行的参议院司法委员会知识产权听证会上说道。
“This is something that would provide that extra protection for these creators, so whether it’s copying their voice or copying their works, they have a legal standing and a right to defend themself and their creation,” Blackburn said during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on intellectual property in November 2024.
《反深度伪造法案》的草案版本已于5月份提交,并转交至参议院司法委员会审议。
A version of the No Fakes Act was introduced in May and forwarded to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
拉马尔曾在2022年为其专辑《Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers》中的歌曲《The Heart Part 5》制作音乐视频时运用了深度伪造技术。
Lamar notably used deepfake technology for the music video for his 2022 song “The Heart Part 5,” part of his “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers” album.
在视频中,拉马尔的容貌依次变幻为O.J.辛普森、艺名坎耶·韦斯特的Ye、演员朱西·斯莫利特与威尔·史密斯,随后又变成已故的洛杉矶湖人队球星科比·布莱恩特以及已故洛杉矶说唱歌手尼普西·赫斯尔。歌曲的歌词也与这些形象一一对应,旨在以这些人物的视角来呈现。
Throughout the video, Lamar morphs from O.J. Simpson to Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, then to actors Jussie Smollett and Will Smith, before changing into the late Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant and the late Los Angeles rapper Nipsey Hussle. The song’s lyrics correspond with each face and were intended to be from their perspectives.
