@davidculley LLMs are the tools of fascism.
The tools of anyone who wants to fool anyone about anything: communists, Islamicists, con artists, phishers, students who want to fool their examiners, crooks of any kind.

@watcher2026 You're talking nonsense.

@Su_G @davidculley
the image prompt and responses from the LLM are simply continuations of the tone I used, so it's merely agreeing with me, not stating policy. -

The news is about soccer hooligans, not anti-genocide protestors. I edited my initial post since first publishing it. Sorry for any confusion.
But in your image, it even knew to use BE for Berlin cops. That's damning. Many videos of infamous Berlin police on social media.

@davidculley ya, either way, it shouldn't be doing that. Wanna take bets if it will allow me to do the same thing for ICE?

Sie zerstört noch viel mehr als nur die Demokratie: sie hat die Macht, den Glauben an alles zu zerstören, weil man schliesslich nichts mehr glauben kann. Es entsteht eine kafkaeske Welt.

@davidculley@hachyderm.io Seems like Germany and the US are lockstep marching towards a new world order....
@gme @davidculley tacuisses! You startled the butterfly.

No idea why they posted an AI generated photo, but there were still a lot of injured officers.

@simonriley @wakame @davidculley Immer daran denken: Da steht nicht, wodurch die Verletzung ausgelöst wurde.
Ich nehme mit Sicherheit keine Hools in Schutz, aber schon wenn jemand sich einen Fuß umknickt oder das eigene Tränengas einatmet zählt das in die Statistik.
Eigentlich unverständlich, dass das immer noch als Benchmark für die Schwere von Krawallen genommen wird.

German police¹ is using ChatGPT to fake images of injured police officers.
After a soccer match with believable hooligan violence against police officers, the German union of police officers (GdP) rightly condemns violence against police officers.
However, instead of using real footage for their press release² of the actual violence that was actually committed, they used some AI-generated fake image and denoted that fact only with a teeny-tiny note in the corner, saying "AI-generated: ChatGPT".
I find this very problematic.
The news report mentioned several injured police officers, some badly injured, and the fake image shows an officer bleeding from his forehead. I have no way to know if any officer was actually bleeding from his head or if this is an exaggeration to make a point. In a time when politicians call for ever more surveillance and ever more power for police officers, this can function as dangerous misinformation.
Especially considering that the Nazis are growing ever stronger and our so-called democratic political parties are building a police state for them. Manufacturing consent using fake images of violence against police officers is dangerous.
Although this was a soccer match, not an anti-genocide protest, and soccer matches occasionally attract violent hooligans, protests are almost always peaceful. At least until the police starts the violence and beats up anyone who protests against fossil fuels or genocide. If we allow police to use AI-generated images in their press releases, then we cannot believe them anything anymore at all. If people still believe them, anyway.
Condemning violence only when it hits them is also hypocritical.
Police is already instigating and inciting against imagined "violent radical leftists", even before/without the use of AI fakes.
The GdP isn't innocent. Just two months ago when the modern NSDAP wanted to start their Hitler Youth equivalent and people peacefully blocked the roads, whereafter the police played taxi for officially recognized Nazis, the GdP said "the radical leftists showed their ugly face and violence".
It's inacceptable for the police to fake images of violence against police.

Not to forget, the injured policemen statistics include the ones who have sprained their ankle when exiting their vehicle or tripped over stuff or just feel down without anyone's involvement. -

@eingemaischt @wakame @davidculley
Berechtigter Einwand, wir wissen nicht, was die Verletzungen genau waren.
Dass aber BeamtInnen zur Behandlung ins Krankenhaus gehen, ist dennoch eher ungewöhnlich. Die von dir angesprochenen Verletzungen werden, wenn überhaupt, ambulant behandelt.

@simonriley @wakame @davidculley das sind dann aber auch nur 16 statt 64 aus der Headline. Und selbst die Zahl ist manipulierbar.
Noch einmal det Disclaimer : Ich weiß nicht, was hier abging. Es geht mir nur darum zu betonen, dass die Zahl der Verletzten kein Benchmark ist.

@davidculley@hachyderm.io
That's gotta be against the GDPR or some other European legislation about government propaganda or some shit.@gme @davidculley This might to be covered by EU Regulation 2024/1689 "KI-Verordnung" somewhere in Article 5.

@davidculley GdP != P(olice) their takes are often leaning far right demanding more surveillance and more rights for the police and so on. I am not surprised.

For soccer matches with violent hooligans who throw stones, I am much more inclined to believe that the police officers were actually injured by a stone thrown at them, rather than by tripping over themselves.

@fabio Es gibt nicht "nur" das fake image.
Im wohlwollendendsten Fall nehme ich an, dass die verantwortliche Person es einfach bequemer fand, mittels ChatGPT innerhalb von 5 Minuten ein geeignetes Bild zu haben, als sich ewig lang durch Videos auf der Suche nach einem geeignete Frame zu wühlen. Nochmal: Das ist der wohlwollendste Fall ohne Täuschungsabsicht.

@davidculley Okay, wo finde ich dann die echten Bilder der verletzten Polizist*innen? Weder die GdP Propaganda noch der MDR Artikel enthalten auch nur ein einziges.
