The author observes that TikTok has become the main channel for women under 25 following the Lindsay Clancy trial — some creators even stage their own theories with Bratz dolls.
The alarming part:
- An estimated 30-40% of videos in this topic are AI-generated fakes: synthetic talking-head analyses, fabricated "evidence" screenshots about the husband and his new wife, and AI-altered audio of a lawyer's statement
- The most viral online "theory" claims the husband killed the children, with fake content fueling that narrative
The author calls this the biggest cultural impact AI has had so far: AI-generated pseudo-evidence is now deeply embedded in real court cases' public discourse.
