"No, there's no way. And it is not artificial intelligence, either. It was a trick of the trade from the video production team that includes senior manager of digital content Ezra Siegel, senior videographer and creative lead Carter Green and senior editor Cody Oasen, who have been playing around with ideas to reach young baseball fans."
"You intentionally faked a video of someone throwing a rock at another person's head at 104 mph, and your DESIRE was to have young baseball fans see it? Are you freaking kidding me? Have you MET young baseball fans? Do you realize that if they think this is real - which your social media team has presented the video to be"
The Milwaukee Brewers released a video showing prospect Cooper Pratt allowing pitcher Jacob Misiorowski to throw a 104 mph fastball at his head, appearing to hit an apple in a William Tell-style stunt. The team presented the video without caveats or disclaimers, making it seem authentic to viewers. However, the video was entirely fabricated using video production techniques by the team's digital content staff. The deceptive presentation is particularly problematic given the Brewers' previous controversy involving a fake letter attributed to Bob Uecker. By presenting fictional content as real without clear labeling, the team risked misleading young baseball fans into believing a genuinely dangerous act had occurred.
