“It is a mistake to have used this tool”admitted Paul Vannier, deputy and manager of the La France Insoumise (LFI) party, after having explained, Friday March 14 in the program C to you On France 5, that the visual with the face of Cyril Hanouna, who caused controversy during the week, was developed using artificial intelligence.
“It was produced by using artificial intelligence, Grok software, that of Elon Musk”said Mr. Vannier about this portrait. The image, broadcast on Tuesday on social networks by LFI to beat the recall for demonstrations on March 22 against racism, was quickly withdrawn from the outcry aroused. She showed the face of the television host, of Tunisian Jewish origin, in black and white, frowning and aggressive grimace. This visual has been seen by many political leaders such as the iconography of anti -Semitic caricatures of the 1930s and Nazi Germany.
“I think we should have prevented this publication. This visual should not have been put into circulation ”said Mr. Vannier, recognizing a “Failure” But refusing to be “In the search for individual responsibility”while journalists questioned him about the person who gave his assent to the publication of the image.
“We had this rule for several years never to use these software. Probably because Elon Musk’s software contains in themselves, in fact, things that are foul-smelling ”explained the elected official, who assured that “Measures” had been taken to avoid “A similar situation” in the future.
Cyril Hanouna wants to prosecute LFI
On several occasions during the interview, Mr. Vannier pointed out the IA tool linked to the social network X of the billionaire Elon Musk, who became a close adviser to the American president, Donald Trump. “It is perhaps an interesting question, moreover, to question why the artificial intelligence of Elon Musk leads to this type of image”said Paul Vannier.
He also deplored “Indignation with variable geometry”. “We jumped into rebellious France, but (…) When Elon Musk, some time ago, practiced Nazi salvation, much stupid to qualify this gesture”he accused. “If we want to fight against anti -Semitism, it is on the far right that we must attack, because it is she who makes him live today in our country”he added.
Marine Le Pen said this week “Scandalized” by these “References to anti -Semitic caricatures”. The convictions also came from a large part of the political class. Cyril Hanouna said he wanted to continue France Insoumise in justice.
