    Feds have better things to do than manufacture furry drama online lol

    If it was them they could have easily just paid someone to draw it

      Why pay someone to draw it if you have a generative image tool to play around with?

        The feds creating novel solutions (as of the time of posting) to one of the big problems of computer science to create online furry drama seems unlikely to me

        Beyond just the furry drama it still seems highly unlikely the feds had/have exclusive AI tech that can generate pictures of new, realistic human faces when there have been conventional image editing techniques to do the same for decades now at much, much less cost than AI

        This kind of thing isn't unheard of but it's usually exclusive to things like... cryptography (like the NSA figuring out differential cryptanalysis before anyone else) where there is no substitute for having this advantage regardless of cost

          Well feds created the internet and try to propose changes to FOSS so it’s not out the realm of possibility. But it’s unlikely they’re infiltrating the furry community, and if they are, they’re lying to their boss about the reason.

            I'm sure they're using AI now that it's out there and they probably have their own models or variant tech cuz it's not that hard to make your own at this point
