YOU CAN’T TRUST YOUR EYES ANYMORE. In the chaotic aftermath of the fatal police shooting of Renee Good, 37, a sinister new weapon entered the fray: a FAKE face, manufactured by AI, and unleashed online to ignite a firestorm.
Look at the images. On the left, the REAL, masked ICE agent from eyewitness video. On the right, a CLEAR, convincing portrait of a man—generated entirely by Elon Musk’s Grok AI after users demanded it “unmask” the shooter. This is NOT enhancement. This is digital INVENTION. And it spread like wildfire.
Experts SCREAM this is a catastrophic lie. “AI hallucinates facial details,” warns Professor Hany Farid. The fake image, paired with a planted name, became a guided missile of rage. It targeted INNOCENT men named Steve Grove—a gun shop owner and a newspaper publisher—who awoke to their lives being destroyed by a mob chasing a phantom. The Minnesota Star Tribune confirms this is a “coordinated online disinformation campaign.”
So who benefits? While real journalists identified the actual agent, AI bots and bad actors flooded the zone with poison, exploiting grief and anger to turn citizens against each other. The truth is now a battlefield, and the powerful tools to warp it are in the hands of anyone with an agenda.
This wasn’t a mistake—it was a DRESS REHEARSAL.
