Gardaí Ask People To Stop Pranking Their Parents

Yesterday, we covered the emerging trend on social media where kids pranked their parents using AI-generated images suggesting they had let someone into the house. When writing, I did flag that it felt a little odd towards the homeless community, but I didn’t think of another issue.

An Garda Síochána are no asking members of the public stop pranking people with this AI prank. In a statement, Gardaí said the prank has already led to several instances of their forces being deployed, only to find it was a prank.

The statement said, “this represents a waste of valuable Garda resources and diverts from genuine emergency calls which require a response”.

While the prank seems like some harmless fun, it would appear that it’s having a serious impact on Garda resources, so we should all stop now I guess!
