That AI video guy caved and apologized to the cops after talking big. Content creator David Nhunzva, who was wanted by the Zimbabwe Republic Police for posting deepfake videos they said damaged their reputation, has now publicly said sorry and deleted the material. This flips his original position, where he demanded an apology from the police and denied any wrongdoing under Zimbabwe's cyber laws. In a new statement, Nhunzva claimed he now realizes the AI-generated content was disturbing and disrespectful to the nation and its institutions.
He walked a careful line in his apology, stating that while he respects Zimbabwe's laws, he currently lives abroad and is subject to those local laws, arguing the AI tools he used, like Grok by xAI, are designed to comply with them. He offered to delete the controversial videos as a gesture of respect for the police's authority. However, he also pointed out that any formal law enforcement action would need to go through the authorities in his current country of residence, effectively placing himself outside the immediate reach of the Zimbabwean police.
