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

What a braindead take. Both the US and many other intl countries have enacted AI safety and regulation rules, this is an extension of that effort. The idea is to set a precedent for this kind of behavior. They are also looking into how AI is being used for election interference like having AI Biden tell people not to vote.

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

Honestly, I kind of don't even care. If that's what it takes to get people to realize that it's a serious problem, cool. I mean, it's aggravating, but at least now something might actually happen that helps protect people who aren't megastars.

The White House is capable of having a position on more than one issue at a time. There also doesn't seem to be a particular bill they are touting, so this seems to be more of a "This is messed up. Congress should do something about it" situation than "We're dropping everything to deal with this" one.

Well, it's not really just about Swift. There are probably many other people that are going through this. Not every person who generates nudes of someone else is going to make it to the news, after all.

I could see this being a problem in highschools as really mean pranks. That is not good. There are a million other ways I could see fake nudes being used against someone.

If someone spread pictures of me naked: 1. I would be flattered and 2. Really ask why someone wants to see me naked in the first place.

If anything, just an extension of any slander(?) laws would work. It's going to be extremely hard to enforce any law though, so there is that.

However, how long have revenge porn laws been a thing? Were they ever really a thing?

Ya, it fucking should be

Y'all need to read the article and stop rage baiting. It's literally a click away.

"Legislation needs to be passed to protect people from fake sexual images generated by AI, the White House said this afternoon."

Only AI fakes of billionaires. They're just admitting that there's a two tiered legal system, and if you're below a certain "value," you will not be protected.

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.

It’s called setting a precedent bud.

I hope you are joking. The target here is very much a victim. I don't want people fucking up my reputation just cus.

What do you propose? Keep in mind, we can't even change society so people don't constantly try to kill each other over nothing.
