The big idea
Pranking with AI can be funny — like making a silly voice say weird things. But pretending to be someone else, faking a scary message, or tricking a younger kid is not okay.
Some examples
- Don't fake a scary voicemail to a friend with AI.
- Don't pretend to be their parent in an AI message.
- Don't make fake 'breaking news' that scares people.
- If a 'prank' would hurt or scare you, don't do it to others.
Try it!
Think of a prank that's silly AND kind. Like a fake compliment from a 'cat'. That's the good kind!
