  • My boss almost cried because I told her not to make an Al picture of me.

    I'm a teacher, and for Teacher Appreciation Week, my boss has been creating Al-generated photos of the staff and posting them on Facebook. I messaged her and told her not to make a picture of me using Al and she
  • got MAD. She tried to tell me that she didn't use Al for the photos. (When she clearly did) And then she tried to prove to me that she hadn't used Al. I told her anytime you make cartoon characters of someone using their photo it's Al
  • and she insisted that she made the photo. (There was a second photo where she put little facts about the teacher so I'm guessing she was referring to that photo) She got so upset that she started to tear up and I'm just flabbergasted that someone could be that lazy and upset when someone requests their photo not to be used in Al.

    Red_Redditor_Reddit I'm sorry, you have the right to ask that your photo not be on facebook, regardless if it's Al or not.

  • Gatonom The outburst is proof she knows it is wrong to do.
  • explosive_dogslicer Stand your ground, you are within your rights to ask her not to. More importantly, you don't consent to it and she knows it already. I teach too and this would make me uncomfortable as f I SO I'm with you.

  • retardedgreenlizard It's not even about the Al, like why was your boss upset that you didn't want her to post a picture of you? It wouldn't even matter if it was Al, even if she was just taking pictures she still should have stopped when you asked her too
  • SpookyFlyingPencil I once received an Al-video of myself pregnant (I'm a dude). Goodbye Sora, I somehow managed to squeeze one night of fun out of it before it closed, and that night was half a year ago.
  • plaidyams A reasonable ask Al aside. I wouldn't want to be looking stupid online with silly little facts attached to my face. Leave me alone.

  • GeneralOrder24 This pattern will likely get worse as people increasingly project their identity onto Al slop.

  • MissiveFinding6111 I often thought that at some point I'd retire from my career and be a teacher. But the fact that teacher's bosses are principals, and

  • principals are almost always, people that didn't like teaching, but aren't good enough at their job to become a superintendent somewhere. So, inevitably, a bunch of empathetic smart teachers are ruled over by just the dumbest mofos in the room.
  • Reasonable-Sort3040 does she... not know that she's using Al? what does she think it is??
  • Sandbina I'm so glad I don't have kids. Someone using Al is NOT who I'd want teaching them. This is so gross of your boss.
