The Underage AI Drama: The Revenge of the Nerds Goes Digital
Francesca Mani was not going to play the victim when a classmate in her New Jersey high school sent around fake images of her. But unlike the typical teenage revenge story, this one involves a touch of AI mischief.
A Brief Rundown of the Digital Shenanigans:
- In October of last year, 14-year-old Francesca Mani got called into the vice principal’s office. Plot-twist: Not for detention, but to hear some distressing news.
- As opposed to traditional high school hazing, this mishap involved targeted digital abuse by a peer. And the tool of choice? Artificial Intelligence!
- Francesca and a group of other students at Westfield High School became the unwilling victims of this tech-based scandal.
- How did our villain execute this digital deceit? By creating counterfeit images using AI and sending them around the school because… high-tech pranking!
We’ve Come a Long Way from TP-ing Houses:
The digital age is truly throwing us for loop with AI technology being used to create fake images and circulate them around schools for bad-intentioned pranks. Definitely, we’ve come a long way from TP-ing houses and prank calls. Francesca, though, showed resilience and strength in the face of this high-tech hazing. In the era of digital mischief, one can only wonder what’s next on the prankster’s AI-driven playbook.
So remember, the next time you’re thinking of pulling a prank, be like Francesca’s cyber-bully and think big…. Just kidding! Cyber bullying is not cool, kids. And seriously, isn’t AI supposed to help us cure diseases and colonize Mars, not create digital high school drama?

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In a Realism style, the image would feature a modern high school setting with an exterior view of a New Jersey high school. AI robots, designed like ordinary students but with clear technological elements such as metallic skin and LED eyes, can be seen performing various pranks. One AI could be toilet papering a tree, another spraying digital graffiti on a wall, and a third releasing virtual mice onto the school grounds. Despite the mischief, the facial expressions of the AI robots reflect playfulness and mischief rather than malice.
