After boys shared faked pornographic images made of female classmates, both the school and the local police began investigating
When girls at Westfield High School in New Jersey found out boys were sharing nude photos of them in group chats, they were shocked, and not only because it was an invasion of privacy. The images weren’t real.
Students said one or more classmates used an online tool powered by artificial intelligence to make the images, then shared them with others. The discovery has sparked uproar in Westfield, an affluent town outside New York City.
Digitally altered or faked images and videos have exploded along with the availability of free or cheap AI tools. While celebrity likenesses from Oprah Winfrey to Pope Francis have drawn media attention, the overwhelming majority of faked images are pornographic, experts say.
The lack of clarity on such images’ legality—and how or whether to punish their makers—has parents, schools and law enforcement running to catch up as AI speeds ahead.
The high school confirmed the incident in an email to parents, but a Westfield Public Schools spokeswoman declined to provide details on the number of students involved or to confirm whether any disciplinary action had been taken, citing student confidentiality.
Some Westfield parents said their daughters have felt humiliated and powerless, and worry about damage to the girls should the images surface later. And they are upset that no resolution is forthcoming.
Even among parents, there is no consensus. In a local Facebook group, some called for harsh punishment for whoever created the images. Others deemed it a youthful transgression that should be forgiven.
The debate and its aftermath are likely to continue for months. Westfield police are investigating, and a state senator has asked county prosecutors to look into the case.

So... you haven't seen anime...
An interesting picture because one of the ways people have been trained to spot AI is through incomplete fingers and hands. Those look pretty good.
Many of the girls at the school will be upset if the AI imagery doesn't look as good as they do in their filters.
Maybe it will become cultural to wear some kind of a face obscuring covering at all time just to keep this from happening.
That will totally suck.
“Remember when we could show our faces in public?”
They can always put their masks back on.
I only had National Geographic hoping for a brown banana titty...
On the flip side, this gives folks plausible deniability. “That picture of me attending an orgy isn’t me! It’s AI generated! I was serving at a soup kitchen that night. See?”
we had AI long before these idiots had the internets
Yes! It cracked me up - but the timing was too perfect imho. And people LOVE those animal videos and click on them. (I did!)
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
We can see it starting now. I wouldn't doubt it.
“And it will help middle-age boys get dates on dating apps???”
Probably not. But it will afford the opportunity for some piece of skit trash to sit at home and use the videos or pics to play tickle and scratch with himself. Would you find that appealing if it was your daughter, sister mother, or wife and they were carrying the embarrassment around with them? These idiots have set up a few girls to be the dream afternoon time user for a lot of cr-p men who are porn addicts and losers. This is not how you protect your family.

Yup.
I haven’t gone through all the comments but as father to 3 daughters and a grandfather to 5 girls, I’m dismayed at the callousness of many of the commenters. It’s as if porn has taken over your souls.
That probably sums it up pretty well.
And it’s almost impossible to go back once you’ve been there.
Hell, how do you even know any of her songs are real?
Sirius question.
“had used an AI-powered website”
I’ll bet those people that make the face-distorting feature on iPhones have some doozies that we don’t get to see.
