Wild 'slush fund' spending of Philly cop (Rochelle Bilal) who posted glowing fake news stories written by ChatGPT on her own website and 'lost' 76 department guns
Daily Mail ^ | 4/22/24 | Alexa Cimino

You've met America's 'worst mayor' Tiffany Henyard, and now meet the woman who may be the country's worst sheriff.

Rochelle Bilal is currently the deputy sheriff for the City and County of Philadelphia, and has been for the last four years - but she has recently been embroiled in scandal, including frivolous spending, maintaining a secret 'slush fund,' and allegedly losing 76 guns from her department.

Bilal's campaign team also came forward and acknowledged that 30 fake positive 'news' stories posted to their site were generated by ChatGPT after the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that outlets could not find the stories in their archives.

The stories were written by a consultant using the AI chatbot in hopes of overshadowing the existing bad press - which is just one of the many scandals reported by the Inquirer about Bilal in recent months.

Bilal's team maintains that the news stories were based on events that have actually happened.

'Our campaign provided the outside consultant talking points which were then provided to the AI service,' the campaign said in a statement.

'It is now clear that the artificial intelligence service generated fake news articles to support the initiatives that were part of the AI prompt.'

Her campaign website titled the series of stories her 'Record of Accomplishments,' but have recently added a disclaimer about the information.

Regarding the accuracy of the stories, that the stories 'makes no representations or warranties of any kind.'

Brett Mandel, who briefly served as her finance chief in 2020, said he had 'grave concerns' about Bilal.

'I think we have seen at the local and national level, not only a disregard for truth and the institutions we have thought of as being the gatekeepers to truth,' he said, 'but I think we have eroded all trust in this area.'

Bilel is running for re-election...

In other words, she's the odds on favorite to win.

Did she lose all those guns in a boating accident? If so, I can relate. The same thing happened to me.

The article gets a small detail wrong. She’s the Sheriff, not a Deputy Sheriff. If she were a Deputy Sheriff, the actual Sheriff would be able to suspend her with pay pending an investigation.

County Sheriffs are elected not appointed.

I knew she was another DEI idiot, before I saw the picture.

These people can’t ever do the work.

It’s the exact opposite of a meritocracy.

It is racist to give idiots, based on skin color and no talent, such jobs.
