    at least some of their art predates the good furry art generating AI models

    Maybe feds had their own before the idea made its way out into the public. Generating fake pictures of people would be a useful thing for a fed faking identities online.

          The feds creating novel solutions (as of the time of posting) to one of the big problems of computer science to create online furry drama seems unlikely to me

          Beyond just the furry drama it still seems highly unlikely the feds had/have exclusive AI tech that can generate pictures of new, realistic human faces when there have been conventional image editing techniques to do the same for decades now at much, much less cost than AI

          This kind of thing isn’t unheard of but it’s usually exclusive to things like… cryptography (like the NSA figuring out differential cryptanalysis before anyone else) where there is no substitute for having this advantage regardless of cost

            Well feds created the internet and try to propose changes to FOSS so it’s not out the realm of possibility. But it’s unlikely they’re infiltrating the furry community, and if they are, they’re lying to their boss about the reason.
