A “Lake America” joke turned into a very real career shake-up. Jane Smith used AI to edit a family photo before a trip to Canada, making it look like they were wearing “Lake America” sweatshirts. She said it was meant to poke fun at the renaming of Lake Ontario not make a political statement. The image went viral. Family First Credit Union’s board publicly rejected the post, and the credit union later announced Smith was no longer an employee. It has not said whether she resigned or was fired, or explicitly confirmed the post was the reason she left. The sweatshirts were fake. The screenshots—and the fallout—were not. #LakeAmerica #LakeOntario #ArtificialIntelligence #FAFO #Michigan
