It sounds like he didn’t actually file a false police report. They don’t even say they asked him whether it’s true. It seems the police just read a post by a random person on the internet, assumed it’s true, then arrested him when it wasn’t. The article is devastatingly light on info, though, so I can’t be sure.

Yeah, we can't actually tell whether the image was posted with the poster going 'hey, @SouthKoreanPolice, wolf is here!', or whether it was xit out without any comment or context, or whether it was in response to a friend who lives in the vicinity of the location in the picture wondering where the wolf was,...

I don't care enough to bother finding out, but seems like the BBC could have done some more journalism, if they were so inclined.

Get used to it, it's gonna keep happening since we're dumb enough to create a technology that mirrors reality with no safeguards whatsoever.

Oh actually penalizing people does help

And if the person isn't in your country?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Crying wolf is normally starting the operation while there isn‘t a wolf. This is misdirection while there is a wolf Similar but different

That's completely pedantic and besides it's false because there literally wasn't a wolf there where he faked the photo in the first place

Crying wolf is crying for help when there is no danger not when there is a danger just at different place.

That's not pedantic, that's the meaning of the idiom.

what if the real criers of wolves were the sheeple we misled along the way?

The BBC article doesn't specify the text with the image, but I clearly see a procedural gap in the police department. Accusing a man who only posted a photo, reorganizing the search based on an unverified photo, it's a big failure.

Did Orwell teach anything? What will they do with the next Visitors' spaceship photo?

The fable was always relevant, afaic it is still a part of the curriculums. It's also a nice illustration of how LLMs screw up everything they touch - and please don't serve me the old "guns don't kill people - people kill people" argument over this.

Is there a reason you felt the need to slip this non sequitur in your reply?

I am not sure, but it probably isn't because I wanted to sound smart by using smart sounding words :)
