Jeremy Clarkson criticises Trump over tiger death AI videos

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 18 Oct, 16:02 · Archive

Jeremy Clarkson has criticised US President Donald Trump for sharing AI-generated material relating to a death at Yorkshire Wildlife Park.

Jeremy Clarkson has criticised Donald Trump for sharing AI-generated footage related to the death of William Chapman, 24, who died after entering a tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster. Trump posted the material on Truth Social with the caption 'Don\'t ever mess with nature', alongside an AI-generated video, set to The Lion Sleeps Tonight, depicting him overpowering a tiger.

In his newspaper column, Clarkson said the posts were 'beyond the pale' and 'sick'. He described how his first instinct upon hearing of the death was sympathy for the family, and his second was to refrain from writing about the incident. 'But then along came Donald Trump,' he wrote. Chapman\'s family had previously said he suffered from a 'significant mental illness' and asked the public to stop sharing imagery and videos of his death, saying the circulation of material was causing 'severe distress at an exceptionally vulnerable time'.

South Yorkshire Mayor Oliver Coppard also criticised President Trump\'s post.
