Even though they fluffed the messaging I think the school was right, in the absence of any actual
deepfakes and even after the police department had scraped all the boys phones, to be wary of accusing anyone in particular of doing anything AI related. Kids are weird and one boy saying he “dropped $250” on making deepfakes of “that hoe” sounds as much like a brag about money than it could be about making fake videos. There’s clearly enough of a text message trail between these boys to give them a significant reprimand for misogyny. The PD’s PR team changing their narrative seems to lack competence. The school board focusing on being light touch on a specific case instead of cracking down in general seems like another error of judgment. This whole article says more about the effectiveness and competency of cops and school boards as it does about generative imagery. |

I skimmed but the worst I saw was one of them referencing her as “that hoe”. Not nice but also punishing kid’s private conversations outside of school this closely seems like an overreach. Worse, is the message it teaches the younger generation that speech should be censored and isn’t as free as they think. I feel that’s a worse outcome on a longer timeline.
