    @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.

      @wakame In a tiny footnote that they added >> after several people complained <<, they even write:

      > Zur Verdeutlichung und Transparenz weisen wir noch einmal darauf hin, dass es sich bei der Darstellung um ein KI-generiertes Bild handelt, welches nicht die eigentliche Einsatzsituation vorgeben soll.

      Translation: "To make it clear, and for transparency, we point out again that the image is AI-generated and not supposed to show what truly happened."

      What the fuck?!

      1. They admit to lying.
      2. Instead of removing their lies (or not posting them in the first place), they add a teeny tiny footnote, saying not to believe what they post.

      @davidculley
      We should be 'glad' that they still bother posting any disclaimer, however teeny tiny, whatsoever. The next step is to just post AI generated content without disclaimers.

      We live in an age where it's becoming harder and harder to tell truth from fiction, thanks to AI and people are willingly embracing it.

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

        If that's the point they wanted to draw attention to, then they should've used actual images from the actual event.

        All they've achieved instead is shifting the focus to the utterly unnecessary use of AI, and the untrustworthiness of their institution.

        I care infinitely more about that than the 64 injured officers.

          @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.

          @davidculley @zaphodb Ja, Polizei ≠ GdP.

          Aber kann es sein, dass du die GdP mit der DPolG verwechselst?

            @davidculley Klar, ich denke aber auch, dass der naheliegende Grund für die Verwendung ist, dass es kein echtes Bild gibt. Sonst müsste es ja irgendwo zu finden sein.

              @davidculley du solltest aber vielleicht in deinem Post klarifizieren, dass das Bild nicht von der Polizei selbst benutzt wurde. Sondern nur von einer Gewerkschaft.

                  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.

                    Gut gesagt @davidculley?

                    So als Aufschlag oder Steilpass vielleicht.

                    Das ist ja wohl oberste Schublade populistische demagogische Fakenews.

                    Das gleiche von Opfern staatlicher Gewalt, z.B. in Sachen foltern mit Schmerzgriffen und es hagelt Gerichtsverfahren, Hausdurchsuchungen und Pressepranger.

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.

                            @davidculley jo digga. die macht der bilder ist für menschliche gehirne nicht zu stoppen. daher bitte kennzeichne das bild im deinem post bitte und verbreite es auch nicht (im bild) unkommentiert. so wie netzpolitik das gemacht haben z. b.

                            die polizei hat ein #polizeiproblem das sie selber nicht klar einordnen kann. ihre eigene »gemäsigte« gewerkschaft eumelt rum und schwurbelt für ihre zielgruppe (unangenehme menschen) rum. das kommt auch von einem ausbleibenden #prüfverfahren #uncool

                              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.

                              Maybe it could be clearer that it was the police Union, not the official police account.

                                @davidculley At least in my country, police, as holders of public authority, have veracity presumption, which means that before a judge, anything they say is truth, before any proof comes out. And of course it is a nightmare to prove that a police officer is lying in a trial. Can't imagine what could happen if we add another layer of lies to fight against.

                                      When lawless scoundrels attack law-abiding citizens, it is always the scoundrels who win. I have always been struck by the vulnerability and credibility of honest people in the face of lies, which explains the success of swindlers and justifies the proverb: “The bigger the lie, the more people believe it”: honest people are totally incapable of conceiving that someone can lie calmly and with confidence.

                                          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.

                                          @davidculley I didnt dare to believe this happening but by now found multiple sources that verify it https://www.mdr.de/nachrichten/sachsen/ki-bild-polizeigewerkschaft-kritik-medienethek-100.html
