So how will any progressive politician be able to be elected then? Because all the fascists would have to do is generate porn with their opponent's likeness to smear them.
Or even worse, deepfake evidence of rape.
Or even worse than that, generate CSAM with their likeness portrayed abusing a child.
They could use that to imprison not only their political opponents, but anyone for anything, and people would think whoever is being disappeared this week actually is a pedophile or a rapist and think nothing of it.
Actual victims' movements would be chopped off at the knee, because now there's no definitive way to prove an actual rape happened since defendants could credibly claim real videos are just AI generated crap and get acquitted. No rape or abuse claims would ever be believed because there is now no way to establish objective truth.
This would leave the fascists open to do whatever they want to anybody with no serious consequences.
But no one cares because they want AI to do their homework for them so they don't have to think, write, or learn to be creative on their own. They want to sit around on their asses and do nothing.
We're going to go back to the old model of trust, before videos and photos existed. Consistent, coherent stories from sources known to be trustworthy will be key. Physical evidence will be helpful as well.
But then people will say "Well how do we know they're not lying?" and then it's back to square 1.
Victims might not ever be able to get justice again if this garbage is allowed to continue. Society's going so off-track.
How often does video evidence of rape exist, though? I don't think this really changes anything for most victims.
See Stuebenville, Ohio where the dumb motherfuckers date raped a girl and put the video on Facebook.
People do shit like that.
