Forum Reactions

Many are surprised by the arrest, with one user saying:

Are you trying to tell me, in this the year of our lord 2026, somebody has been (rightfully or wrongfully) arrested for literally ‘crying wolf’? There’s something hilariously poetic about a ~2,500 year old fable being relevant today, because of AI.

Others believe that AI-generated content should be clearly labeled, as one user stated:

IMO you should be legally required to disclose that a video has been AI generated when you share it.
