Summary
Teachers are being traumatized by AI-generated deepfake videos showing them saying offensive things while superimposed on naked bodies—some created by students and spreading rapidly online. These hyper-realistic fakes are causing severe emotional distress, forcing educators to quit or hide from public view, while schools scramble to protect staff by removing photos. As the government nears a social media ban for under-16s, experts warn the tech’s sophistication makes detection hard, and though the content is illegal, police rarely intervene unless it’s extreme. The fallout is eroding trust and highlighting the urgent need for better safeguards before more educators suffer. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
