Connor Bedard recently fell victim to the excesses of artificial intelligence, when a video circulated where his voice was recreated to speak about Corey Perry and his own mother.
While some found the video funny, others were uncomfortable. But for Bedard and her mother, it must have been a truly traumatic experience. Artificial intelligence can be scary, and this video proves it.
This week, artificial intelligence produced another mind-blowing spectacle, once again at the expense of Connor Bedard’s mother.
For several hours, while browsing TikTok, users discovered a doctored video where Bedard’s voice seemed to confirm intimate relations between his mother and Corey Perry.

No serious media outlet relayed this video without first verifying its authenticity. Four hours after the video appeared, it was madness on social networks.
Several users shared the video without any embarrassment. These videos are not censored by TikTok, allowing this false rumor to be heard in audio and visual, attracting almost a million views in three days and generating significant advertising revenue for this content creator.
In Canada, this video has been particularly popular. The views come mainly from Canada. Even though Bedard plays in Chicago.
It’s hard to believe that someone, seeing this video repeatedly, didn’t click on it out of curiosity. It must be said that the video is very, very well done.
It all started with a doctored video that was circulated on several social media platforms, using artificial intelligence to recreate Bedard’s voice.
This is how hundreds of videos have relayed a simple rumor generated by artificial intelligence, illustrating the total lack of quality control of this new technology.
These events show that these doctored videos are now becoming the main source of information on social networks,
Our thoughts are with Connor Bedard and his mother. After last fall’s nightmare, the young woman and her 18-year-old son are haunted again…by a false story that has already hurt them enough.
