Think of the children being used to push an agenda that helps the very wealthy? Well I'll be, what a totally new and not at all predictable move.
Ban all ai that aren't owned by rich people, make open source impossible, restrict everything that might allow regular people to compete with the corporations - only then will you children be safe!
I'm as suspicious of "think of the children" stuff as anyone here but I don't see how we are fighting for the rights of the people by defending non-consensual deepfake porn impersonation, of children or anyone.
If someone makes deepfake porn of my little cousin or Emma Watson, there's no scenario where this isn't a shitty thing to do to a person, and I don't see how the masses are being oppressed by this being banned. What, do we need to deepfake Joe Biden getting it on to protest against the government?
Not only the harassment of being subjected to something like this seems horrible, it's reasonable to say that people ought to have rights over their own likeness, no? It's not even a matter of journalistic interest because it's something completely made-up.
The issue is there really is no way to stop it unless you make ai illegal. The cat is already out of the bag. The models and hardware are getting better and faster and cheaper.
How do you suppose you enforce a law like this when people stop even sharing the photos they create, maybe don't even save them themselves, because it's so easy and instant to create more when you want to see them. "Put her face on her body in this position", bam, instant album of photos to jerk off to, then delete them. That's how good and how available these models are getting.
How do you think restrictions on this should, or could, be enforced?
Cant stop people from killing others with hammers unless we make hammers illegal guys
