Didn't we all see this coming? Porn deepfakes were already a thing, and even before generative AI we already had people photoshop women in explicit situations.

I'd even say that right now we have much better tools to deal with the fakes than before AI, and all that is required is legislative action.

The tech is already capable of doing automatic facial recognition at scale and we could give victims the tools to automatically send take-down notices and have them enforced.

We saw it coming, we Technorati. The average citizen knows exactly enough tech to perform their job, Facebook and email, nothing more.

You and I are on lemmy. My page is flooded with Linux posts and memes. The vast majority of people have, at best, a nebulous understanding of what it is. I'll even back up and say the majority have heard of it, but can't identify it as an operating system. Hell, I back up further! Most people can't give an ELI5 as to what on OS is, let alone give an example.

This is news to most. And because it hit a wildly popular star, a star who's shown herself to, at least, seem like a great person, no drama, no immorality, no bullshit, this thing seems so much more unfair and worthy of attention.

I'm not sure how we legislate this sort of thing. Sounds like you got ideas?
