Michigan Credit Union CEO Resigns After Viral AI 'Lake America' Photo Sparks Outrage
Jane Smith, the former CEO of Michigan-based Family First Credit Union, has left her position effective immediately following a viral controversy over an AI-generated photo. The image, which depicted Smith and her family wearing 'Lake America' sweatshirts, was posted on Facebook during a trip to Canada and sparked significant backlash. While Smith claimed the post was a joke referencing President Trump's recent executive order to rename Lake Ontario, the credit union disavowed the content and Smith is no longer employed by the organization.
