A 1964 advertisement created for Lyndon B. Johnson's election campaign, which was only aired once, has been revived using AI technology. This new ad was used for Texas Senator Ken Paxton's election campaign and contains a negative message towards trans youth. The ad originally starts with a scene of a girl counting the petals of a flower, followed by a male voice counting and a nuclear explosion filling the screen. However, in the new version, the girl is lying on an operating table, with an AI-generated copy of Texas Representative James Talarico appearing. This ad is just one of many created by Paxton's election campaign targeting trans youth. Paxton has been working to restrict trans youth's access to medical care and frequently expresses his views on the matter.
