MODERATORS
 

A bipartisan group of US senators introduced a bill Tuesday that would criminalize the spread of nonconsensual, sexualized images generated by artificial intelligence. The measure comes in direct response to the proliferation of pornographic AI-made images of Taylor Swift on X, formerly Twitter, in recent days.

The measure would allow victims depicted in nude or sexually explicit “digital forgeries” to seek a civil penalty against “individuals who produced or possessed the forgery with intent to distribute it” or anyone who received the material knowing it was not made with consent. Dick Durbin, the US Senate majority whip, and senators Lindsey Graham, Amy Klobuchar and Josh Hawley are behind the bill, known as the Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits Act of 2024, or the “Defiance Act.”

there is a place for deep fakes in satire. (albeit, they should be known as such,)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think the "too convincing skilled impersonator" problem is covered by defamation laws.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

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 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Everybody knows the moons made of cheese.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah, we went and checked whether it was. After we found out it wasn't, we haven't gone back.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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.
