Summary
An AI-altered image circulated on X showing Michigan U.S. Senate candidate and former congressman Mike Rogers with exaggerated, superhero-like muscles. The image — marked with a “made with AI” disclaimer — was posted by Abby Ronson, a staffer at a campaign vendor, and the post reached about 1.7 million views.
The Rogers campaign said its staffers did not create the image. The image went viral and prompted mockery and imitation online; the campaign later posted its own AI-enhanced video of Rogers.
