there is a place for deep fakes in satire. (albeit, they should be known as such,)
I agree with the right to satire, but probably not as a deep fake. Comics, skits, etc., sure. Deep fakes are too convincing for an alarming number of folks.
so how do you feel about skilled impersonators?
what if they're convincing? or are we going to allow just the shitty ones? or only if they offend the subject?
what you're proposing is a very slippery slope.
I think the "too convincing skilled impersonator" problem is covered by defamation laws.
Nope. Defamation requires some malicious intent to be illegal. It also requires more or less blatant lies to be maintained.
Particularly since most satire and most impersonators both go to reasonable lengths to ensure that there’s is minimal confusion as to reality,
I'm Fred Sassy, and I disagree
I'm so glad someone posted a link to Sassy Justice. I thought it was a hilarious little experiment from the South Park guys
An alarming number of folks think the world is flat and the moon is made of cheese. We need a better standard than that.
Everybody knows the moons made of cheese.
Nah, we went and checked whether it was. After we found out it wasn't, we haven't gone back.
The folks who think it's made of cheese also think we faked the moon landing.
Which raises a question... Could someone press for moon landing proof to be suppressed on the grounds that they believe it is a deep fake? I guess that depends on how sexy you find moon cheese.
We need better education.
