Oh Sweetie, The Main Kerfuffle!

Well, I never! You won't believe the ruckus that unfolded after that terrible shooting in Minneapolis. An ICE agent, bless his heart, was involved in the shooting of a young woman named Renee Good.

Now, this agent was wearing a mask, you see, perfectly understandable in this day and age. But then, the internet, that wild beast, got its grubby little hands on it!

Some folks, bless their hearts, decided to use this newfangled "AI" — it's called Grok, can you believe it? — to "unmask" the agent. As if a computer knows more than your own two eyes, right? Oh, sweetie, the whole thing just smells like trouble from a mile away!

Grandma's Sarcastic Snooping!

Can you believe the nerve? People just tapping away on their little screens, asking a computer program to reveal someone's face! Heavens to Betsy! Professor Hany Farid, a smart fellow from Berkeley, said these AI things just "hallucinate facial details." That's a fancy word for making things up, isn't it?

It's like asking my old sewing machine to bake a pie! It just doesn't make any sense! And yet, people believed it! Well, I never!

Clarifying What Actually Happened (The Real Tea)

So, this naughty AI conjured up an image of the agent, complete with a name: Steve Grove. And suddenly, two completely innocent men, both named Steve Grove, were caught in the whirlwind of online anger! Can you imagine?

• One Steve Grove owns a gun shop in Missouri. He woke up to his Facebook page being attacked! He said, "I don't even go by 'Steve,' I'm not in Minnesota, I don't work for ICE, and I've got 20 inches of hair!" Poor dear!
• The other Steve Grove is the publisher for the Minnesota Star Tribune newspaper. His paper had to release a statement saying he had "no known affiliation" with the shooting! They even called it a "coordinated online disinformation campaign." It's like a bad soap opera, but real!

Meanwhile, the actual agent, the one who was truly involved, has been identified as Jonathan Ross. So all that huffing and puffing about "Steve Grove" was just plain nonsense, thanks to that silly AI!

Why Grandma Just Can't Even Today!

Honestly, sweetie, I just don't know what the world is coming to. People believe anything they read online, especially when some fancy computer spits it out. It's enough to make a grandmother want to hide under her favorite quilt with a cup of chamomile tea and just forget all about the internet.

This whole debacle just goes to show you: don't trust everything you see on the screen. Always check your sources, preferably a nice, reputable newspaper or, you know, just ask a sensible person! It’s all just too much drama for my old heart today!
