Rick Wilson - How Spencer Pratt Has Weaponized AI Ads in the LA Mayor Race

First, a confession from a guy who’s made more political television than he cares to admit: far too much American campaign advertising is dull, formulaic, and entirely predictable. I mean, ours isn’t, but we’re a mad monk cult of “Bad liberal X is bad because he’s bad. Bad conservative Y is bad because he’s bad.” Rinse. Repeat. Bill the client.

It’s recursive and boring.

Pratt’s message, delivered with a comic, postmodern AI flourish, is … and I cannot believe I’m typing this about a Hills alum … quite frankly very well done. It’s not an endorsement; it’s an observation.

For a man who has no business being in a close second place to current Mayor Karen Bass, Pratt is doing something politically that Democrats should learn from once they’re done pretending that campaigns will stay the same, forever.

In my vicinity who are voting for Pratt is un-friggen-believable. There are always posts pushing back but there are new pro Pratt posts every day. Celebrity notoriety will get you far.... see Donald Trump.

I'm sorry he lost his house. But that doesn't qualify him to be mayor of one of the biggest cities in the country.

Heaven help us.
