White House calls for legislation to stop Taylor Swift AI fakes

What?

This isn't revenge porn, it's fakes of celebrities.

Something that was done for decades, and one of the biggest parts of early reddit. So it's not "the second" either.

The only thing that's changed is people are generating it with AI.

The ones made without AI (that have been made for decades) are a lot more realistic and a lot more explicit. It just takes skill and time, which is why people were only doing it for celebrities.

The danger of AI is any random person could take some pictures off social media and make explicit images. The technology isn't there yet, but it won't take much longer

I think it's more about the abject danger that unregulated AI replication of noteworthy figures represents to basically everything

Also, revenge porn is illegal in I think every state but South Carolina and even then it might have been banned since I saw that stat

While I agree with the sentiment that rich people's issues have more influence.

How Many States Have Revenge Porn Laws?

All states, excluding Massachusetts and South Carolina, have separate statutes specifically related to revenge porn. It's important to note, however, that a person may still be prosecuted for revenge porn under other statutes in those two states.

Everybody cares, just because it’s not all in place day 0 doesn’t mean nobody does
