The amount of people in this thread that doesn't see this as a problem is disturbing.

I think the main issue many people are taking is that these fakes have been around for a bit, but NOW there's a call to legislation when it's a billionaire that's the victim.

Of course it's a problem and I've said before that this needs to be discussed on a legislative level, but even I'm rolling my eyes that it took a literal billionaire being exposed to it to have any impact.

I am pretty sure if fakes where around before swifts where there too.

Then you’re wrong. Taylor Swift’s career predates this technology.

And the amount of people who don’t see massive new legislation as a problem is also disturbing.

I think it was Deloitte that is expecting that AI scams (such as fake emergency call scams) will cost the economy trillions of dollars. Taylor swift fake nudes is just the tip of an iceberg of problems created by new tech. Its just a matter of time before the public internet is completely unusable.

It’s happening already. I think AI is a massive, massive problem. I knew it would be a massive problem twenty years ago thinking about it as a stoner talking the future of AI.

I just don’t think legislation is going to help.

I was actually downvoted to oblivion because I called out some kids for suggesting she’s not as much of a victim as others because she’s wealthy.

Fucking gross. Who’s raising these kids?
