Westbrook police admitted to sharing an AI-altered photo of drug evidence. An officer added the department's patch using a photo editing app, which inadvertently altered the image. Critics on social media pointed out discrepancies in the photo, leading police to initially deny AI involvement. Eventually, they confirmed using an AI chatbot, ChatGPT. The department issued a public apology, clarifying they did not intend to alter evidence imagery and had previously encountered similar drug-related materials with gibberish text on packaging.
"Clearly, we should have looked further into the shared image," Westbrook police acknowledged.
