"knife stabbings done with [new alloy] knives shows that [new alloy] is a major threat to society, spokesman says, and remind people to pretend that knife stabbings is a completely new thing that didn't exist before"

Deepfakes are nothing new but the ease of access to said tools these days and its popularity are definitely something to be concerned about. Don't downplay it.

What a stupid take on the issue

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What a brilliant counterpoint.

It's a fair arguement, possibly naive but it's not as if you couldn't do this with standard photo manipulation software already. Also the kids are been panicky and stupid why are they paying up they know it isn't them, if they just calm down and took a breath and thought about it for 10 seconds they'd realise that actually there is no threat.

No, it is not fair argument. New alloy doesn't change how knife operate and isn't going to increase number of knife attacks by an order of several magnitudes.

This will. Because good photoshop work was skill that took time to master, while now it can be done by any random moron.

Your other argument is dumb as well. People have a right to not having their face photoshopped onto random naked body. Whether it is really your body or not is not necessary to make you uncomfortable.
