    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.

      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 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

                @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.

                    Le problème - comme d'hab - c'est que les formations de droite et d'extrême-droite, il y a déjà longtemps qu'on ne distingue plus la limite, et même maintenant la police et les gouvernements fascistes (DOJ US, Trump ...), se mettent à utiliser massivement ces outils pour alimenter leurs mensonges et leur #intox, face à des gauches qui s'imaginent "au dessus" de ce genre de manipulation.

                      Le problème - comme d'hab - c'est que les formations de droite et d'extrême-droite, il y a déjà longtemps qu'on ne distingue plus la limite, et même maintenant la police et les gouvernements fascistes (DOJ US, Trump ...), se mettent à utiliser massivement ces outils pour alimenter leurs mensonges et leur #intox, face à des gauches qui s'imaginent "au dessus" de ce genre de manipulation.

                      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.

                            You’re right to be alarmed. When authorities blur the line between documentation and fabrication even “symbolically” they undermine trust and open the door to manipulation. If police want credibility, they can’t manufacture imagery to strengthen a narrative, especially in a political climate already leaning toward fear and repression.👌
