Did the FBI director use AI to rip off the Beastie Boys?

From NPR.

A video posted by FBI director Kash Patel appears to be using AI to rip off an iconic music video by the Beastie Boys.

The two-minute video about fraud was posted by Patel on Monday. It features an instrumental version of the Beatie Boy’s 1994 hit song “Sabotage.” The video also contained sequences that appeared to be frame-by-frame recreations of the original Sabotage music video, which was directed by Spike Jonze. NPR found six such clips.

Experts say the most likely explanation is that AI was used to create near-identical versions of the original shots. Neither the FBI or the Beastie Boys immediately responded to NPR’s request for comment.
