"Screenshot via Facebook. Several churches played AI-generated clips of Charlie Kirk at their services this past weekend, featuring a digital recreation of Kirk's voice saying things he never said in life. Kirk, 31, founded Turning Point USA in 2012. He was speaking at a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University on September 10 when he was fatally shot. Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested last Friday for Kirk's murder and is facing seven charges, including the capital felony of aggravated murder."
"One of the clips cited by Jenkins showed Jack Graham, the pastor at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, speaking about Kirk and then introducing a clip he tells his congregation was created on AI, artificial intelligence, from the words of Charlie Kirk and that he was so moved when he watched it himself. I want you to watch this clip and hear what Charlie is saying, regarding what happened to him this past week, said Graham."
