Earlier today I used AI to create a video about the Billericay Conservative Party. It has since come to my attention that the song the AI platform used in the video included antisemitic lyrics. I was completely unaware of this at the time I posted the video and, to my enormous regret, did not check the video adequately before posting. As soon as I was made aware of the antisemitism within the lyrics, I immediately deleted the post. Antisemitism has no place in our society and I am deeply sorry for unknowingly sharing something that carried antisemitic content. I would never have posted it had I known, and accept that I should have been more careful in my use of AI. I will learn from this mistake and be far more cautious in the future.
