Okay, so this is wild. A bar I heard about had to deal with someone trying to use a fake ID – and get this, it had Benjamin Franklin’s info on it! Apparently, the owner thinks people are getting ideas from ChatGPT and TikTok, so they’ve decided to ban anyone who looks even remotely like they might be underage. It’s kinda crazy how tech is affecting even going out for a drink!
Turning the legal drinking age is often seen as a milestone, and many people celebrate by having their first legal drink at a bar. However, some individuals try to bypass the age requirement by using fake identification to obtain alcohol underage.
A bar in Philadelphia is trying a unique way to stop underage drinking: they now only allow people 25 and older to enter. This unusual step was prompted by a particularly creative fake ID they discovered – it used the details of Benjamin Franklin, one of America’s Founding Fathers, and even listed the Liberty Bell as his address!
Jody Sweitzer, co-owner of Dirty Frank’s, explained to ABC 7 that finding this item led to the decision to close. ‘We confiscated it, and that was the final straw,’ she said.
Benjamin Franklin fake ID prompts change for bar
According to Sweitzer, the increasing use of fake IDs by young people – including some very outlandish ones, like those featuring images of the former president – is largely due to the popularity of platforms like ChatGPT and TikTok.
She explained that after ChatGPT and TikTok became popular, they started seeing large groups of kids – sometimes twenty or thirty at a time – visit. While everything appeared normal – the UV lights and holograms were functioning correctly – something just felt strange.
So, the plan is to go back to checking IDs and making sure everyone’s 21 or older at the door, but we’re waiting on getting the right stuff – like the ID scanners or whatever – before we actually start doing that again.
I’m going to buy it, and then we can go back to checking IDs for people 21 and older. Until I get a scanner that can tell if an ID is real or fake, that’s the only way we can do it,” she explained.
This isn’t the first time artificial intelligence has caused legal problems, and it probably won’t be the last. Recently, lawyers in Kansas were fined $12,000 because a judge found that AI had created false legal arguments in documents they submitted.
