The "reporter" had a third hand sprouting from her chest like a scene from 'Alien' while both her arms were behind her back.

If Jenn couldn't figure out that the video was AI from those raging clues, then she rightfully loses all credibility.

You're about to learn a whole bunch of stuff you probably never wanted to learn

She claimed credibility as a "former intelligence agent."

The *bare minimum* expectation is that she could have checked the TikTok account the video came from (who's name is plastered all over the video) and see that they were nothing but an AI-slop shitposter.

Credibility is fragile.

And who immediately run back into the arms of fascists at the slightest pushback?

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 20h

Are there any others posting fake content? 🤔

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 20h

Indeed. She's such a dedicated whistleblower that a bit of criticism over posting obvious AI fakes led her to give up her entire cause? Maybe she wasn't in it for the altruism after all.

That what happens when you torch your own credibility ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 21h

I hope so too. I'd be so embarrassed to post that kind of slop.

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 21h

Credibility is a fragile thing. As she's learned, it can be lost in a heartbeat.

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 22h

I think someone claiming credibility as a "former intelligence agent" should be held to a higher standard.

("Can recognize that three-armed reporters are AI-generated" is a very, very low standard.)

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 22h

Maybe the lesson here is don't post obvious misinformation immediately before going to bed. (And on an account claiming credibility as a "former intelligence agent" no less!!)

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 22h

You're the asshole in this interaction who didn't even bother to check if the video was AI before claiming it wasn't.

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 22h

Good riddance. If her media literacy is that bad that she couldn't tell a three-armed reporter was fake, she can't be trusted not to fall for a less obvious AI fake in the future. And she was an "intelligence agent"!! 🙈

The "recognizes self in mirror" test, or the "can fog a mirror" test? 🤔

Welp, she made it easy on everyone and deleted her whole account.

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 22h

Wow, she deleted her whole account! 😂

LMAO, Jenn deleted her whole account.

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 22h

You also have agency here in your choice to uncritically repost the video.

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 22h

Deservedly so. It was incredibly obvious that it was fake. A "former intelligence agent" posting that crap immediately ruins all their credibility. They *will* make the same mistake again on less obvious AI slop.

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 22h

I agree it was a mistake. But I don't want to poison my feed with someone that gullible. One watch of that video and it was immediately obvious it was AI. They're definitely going to fall for less obvious AI videos in the future.

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 22h

Nope, still blocking.

The "reporter" had 3 hands. That was an egregiously fake video. No excuse for an "intelligence analyst" to miss that.

She's going on my AI Trashpile block list. That level of poor media literacy is unforgivable.

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 1d

It's a fake AI video.

DL @drewblagrim.bsky.social · 1d

This is a fake AI generated video.

Count the hands 👋🖐️✋
