Shirin Delsooz, a passionate advocate for bicycle infrastructure, has been a regular feature at Corpus Christi City Council meetings. Recently, she began using an AI-generated avatar named Jonathan to make her case in videos presented to the council. Delsooz, known for her homemade videos supporting protected bike paths, opted for the AI representation as a more professional approach and as an experiment to see if it would resonate better with the council. Her use of AI has raised questions about its impact on public comment and potential regulations, but it has also streamlined her video production process. The mayor and other city officials have differing opinions on the use of AI, but Delsooz continues to employ it as a tool in her advocacy for bike safety and public health.
