ABC cites an odd claim:

Detectives allege that Darien used his Large Language Models, such as OpenAI and Bing chat, to create the recording. The charging document claimed that Darien has a paid OpenAI account, which gives users more features than the free version.

You can't make audio using OpenAI or Bing, just text and images. I really hope they didn't arrest the wrong person based on a hunch and office politics.

It's starting early! I genuinely can't tell if the audio is AI generated or not. How cool will it be here in 7 months when we have a presidential election? How many people are gonna be swayed by fake audio clips? How many people will assume the real shit that candidates have said is just AI generated? "Grab em by the pussy" and "you ain't black" are so outlandish, if those audio clips came out today, I would assume they must be fake

This feels like when we saw headlines about a new virus in Wuhan back in January

I hope this gets some serious scrutiny, they better find actual evidence. Would be so easy for the principle and police chief to be friends.

investigative journalism at its best.

We are talking about US police, so it's safe to say yes they would do something like that.
