#43Title should be "Man arrested for deceptive and antisocial behavior". The only reason you are seeing this right now is because it has AI in the title.
Isn't the technology that enabled the deception noteworthy? Presumably this person wouldn't have been able to do this before AI.
Hypothetically, if a hacking tool was released that let non-technical people hack into sensitive databases, and then a journalist wrote the headline "local man hacks IRS", without any mention of the tool, wouldn't that be a bit irresponsible, to purposely leave that information out?

#45Earlier quoted context omitted.
But there are real wolves when shepherding too. That’s why crying wolf has any power. To cry wolf is to say there’s a wolf here when it’s actually located elsewhere. The AI photo said there was a wolf at a certain intersection when it was actually located elsewhere. In fact crying wolf is doubly appropriate because it means disturbing an operation looking for a wolf.
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

#46Are you trying to tell me, in this the year of our lord 2026, somebody has been (rightfully or wrongfully) arrested for literally ‘crying wolf’? There’s something hilariously poetic about a ~2,500 year old fable being relevant today, because of AI.
No, not really. There was a real wolf and the person dusturbed the operation. "South Korean police have arrested a man for sharing an AI-generated image that misled authorities who were searching for a wolf that had broken out of a zoo in Daejeon city. The 40-year-old unnamed man is accused of disrupting the search by creating and distributing a fake photo purporting to show Neukgu, the wolf, trotting down a road int…
> the person dusturbed the operation
Did they? The article says it's unclear as to their intent.
> Authorities did not specify if the man had intentionally sent the photo to authorities during their search or simply shared it online.

If this was America there would be 20 think pieces in the Atlantic about how AI is ruining our culture and no one would get arrested.

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.

#49How about not believing everything that's posted to the Internet. This could've easily been done with Photoshop in the pre AI era.
