Summary

In Heber City, Utah, a routine experiment with AI-powered reporting software led to one of the most absurd documents in the history of the department. Designed to transcribe body camera footage into draft reports to save officers hours of paperwork, the AI accidentally tuned into a nearby movie: Disney’s The Princess and the Frog. The result was an official report claiming an officer had physically transformed into a frog while on duty.
