U.S. Men's Hockey: 'Brady Tkachuk miffed over White House AI-doctored video' [View all]

(ESPN) "Brady Tkachuk, the Ottawa Senators captain and a Team USA gold medalist, said he didn't appreciate the AI-doctored video released by the White House that made it appear he was disparaging Canadians."

"The video, published Sunday by the White House's official TikTok account, featured doctored footage from a Tkachuk brothers' news conference at the 4 Nations Face-Off last February. While 'Free Bird,' the goal song for Team USA, played in the background of the video, Brady Tkachuk was made to say, 'They booed our national anthem, so I had to come out and teach those maple syrup eating f---s a lesson.' "

"The clip, which discloses that it used AI-generated media, has 11.1 million views on TikTok and has been widely viewed on other social media platforms."

" 'Well, it's clearly fake, because it's not my voice, not my lips moving,' Tkachuk said Thursday in his first media availability in Ottawa since the U.S. defeated Canada for the gold medal in men's Olympic ice hockey in Milan. 'I'm not in control of any of those accounts. I know that those words would never come out of my mouth. So, I can't do anything about it.' "
