    2 days of her life she won’t get back because of an ai deepfake. please don’t let this shit get any worse…

  2. That would be awful if verified ICE agents were to be targeted in this way. I really hope people don’t start doing things like this to them

    Hold up… It was a fake text message screen shot. We are really doing a lot of heavy lifting here on the ai angle.

    I agree though but regardless of whether it was photoshopped or made with ai, police should have been moving forward with validating the text message was sent from her phone with phone records before arresting… Crazy was

    While deepfakes are a big problem, this isn’t an issue with technology. This is poor, lazy police work.

    I hope she sues everyone and wins big time including whoever makes the software that made the fakes.

  6. Going to happen a lot moving forward and I wouldn’t be suprised if it turns out to be one of the main uses of the thing.

  7. Man, we are headed down the drain quick with AI.

    Just imagine a fake being created of you doing something terrible or like this where it breaks your no contact order.

    You get arrested and charged. Hopefully you have the money to bond out (depending if the judge gives you a bond).

    It takes 8 months to get phone records and a detective to work on the case from the state side to prove / disprove the evidence provided is not AI generated. All that time your likely restricted in travel and what you can do (again, depending on charges).

    Meanwhile if the state / county / government continues with the charges you are now having to hire your own AI experts to prove it is AI and prove your innocence.

    Assuming you were able to bond out of jail relatively fast and not lose your job, your likely looking at six figures worth of experts and attorney fees — more than enough to bankrupt most Americans. Even if you win you loose.

    So what happened to the guy? He submitted false evidence that caused someone to be imprisoned and arrested twice. That’s got to amount to something.

  9. its almost like there were major societal implications that warranted not unleashing this technology for free on society, much less allowing unlicensed data training.

    that being said, this is the whole reason evidence is suppose to be verified by sworn statements before being allowed into evidence. heck, you cant submit video evidence without authentication by a human.

  10. Not really relevant to the issue discussed but when he scratched himself, he should have asked the police officers to take samples from his fingernails and hers.

    Damn, I’ve been watching too many forensic files lately.

  11. He should be sentenced to double the sentence he tried to get her on and have to pay back her bonds. If the battery and violation of the protective order was 1 yr in jail, he should face 2 plus a psych eval and only supervised internet.

    Then she should sue him in civil court.
