ESPN analyst urges Texas QB Arch Manning to learn from AI video scandal
ESPN analyst Shae Cornette urged Texas quarterback Arch Manning to treat the AI-generated video controversy as a learning moment, after the quarterback drew criticism for laughing about the clip. Manning had earlier joked about a fabricated AI video that appeared to show Texas coach Steve Sarkisian slapping ESPN sideline reporter Holly Rowe following Texas’ comeback win over Ohio State, noting the real interview lasted only seconds.
He later issued a public apology for the insensitive remark, a move that was labeled “embarrassing” by Fox News host Laura Ingraham. The incident sparked a broader discussion about the misuse of AI-generated media in sports.
