Did you see this AI deepfake in Lindbergh Schools?
Look— I'm gonna be real with you. We've talked a lot about what social media does to our politics, but an AI-generated image of the Lindbergh superintendent endorsing a Board of Education candidate? That just went from zero to sixty quicker than a Blues breakaway. David Randelman, who's been a "watchdog" for Lindbergh Schools, posted this on Facebook. It shows Superintendent Tony Lake appearing to back a candidate, but it's completely fake. This isn't just a yard sign getting swiped off West Watson in Sunset Hills; this is a whole new level of messing with our local elections.
### What This Means for South County
For folks out in South County, especially around Sappington and Green Park, this kind of stuff hits different. You've got families who've been in these neighborhoods for generations, sending their kids through Lindbergh Schools. We're talking about parents and grandparents who care deeply about who’s making decisions for their schools.
* This isn't about policy; it's about trust.
* It's a reminder that what you see online might not be what's real, even in our own backyard.
* It makes you wonder, if this is happening in school board races, where does it stop?
This is the kind of stunt that makes people throw up their hands and say, "What's the point?" But that's the Lou – we're still here and we're not leaving. We gotta stay sharp, question everything, and make sure we’re getting our information from sources we know and trust, not some algorithm trying to play us for fools.
That's the Lou — we're still here and we're not leaving.
