Reform UK Candidate Mark Matlock Denies AI Claims Amid Election Controversy
Jul 9, 2024, 06:59 AM
Mark Matlock, a candidate for the Reform UK party in the Clapham & Brixton Hill constituency, has been at the center of controversy after being accused of being an AI-generated persona. Speculation arose due to his use of an AI photo and AI-generated text in his campaign materials. However, Matlock has confirmed that he is a real person, explaining that the image was digitally altered to change his tie and suit because he could not get to a photographer on time. Despite the initial confusion, Matlock, who lives 100 miles away, has appeared on GB News to affirm his existence and address the power of modern photo editing tools. This incident occurred during the general election.
