I suppose the only thing I disagree with is that the law can do anything about it. Obviously, you can go after sites that have money and/or a real business presence, a la Pornhub. But the rest? It’s the wild west.
I think it’s best that it be illegal so that we can at least have a reactive response to the problem. If someone abuses someone else by creating simulated pornography (by any means), we should have a crime to charge them with.
You can’t target the technology, or stop people from using AI to do perverted things, but if they get caught, we should at least respond to the problem.
I don’t know what a proactive response to this issue looks like. Maybe better public education and a culture that encourages more respect for others?

So… Where do you draw the line exactly? Does this include classic photo manipulation too? Written stories (fanfic)? Sketching / doodling of some nude figure with a name pointed towards it? Dirty thoughts that someone has about someone else?
I find this response highly questionable and authoritarian. Calling it abuse is also really trivializing actual abuse, which I, as an abuse victim, find pretty apprehensive. If I could swap what was done to me with someone making porn of “me” and getting their rocks off of that then I’d gladly make that exchange.
I feel I was misconstrued. 1. a law will probably happen, and 2. it will do fuck all because the tool chain and posting/sharing process are going to be completely anonymous.
Yeah, in specific cases where you can determine deepfake revenge porn of Person A was posted by Person B who had an axe to grind, you might get a prosecution. I just don’t think the dudes making porn on their Nvidia GPUs of Gal Godot f*ckin Boba Fett are ever gonna get caught, and the celebrity cat will stay forever out of the bag.

I was referring to that part of his comment. It is also not at all illegal in most countries. Its only illegal at state level in the US for example, and not for all of them either. Canada only has 8 provinces with legislation against it.
I do agree though that it’s not the softwares fault. Bad actors should be punished and nothing more.

You can’t ban the tech but you can ban the act so it’s easier to prosecute people that upload deep fakes of their co-workers.
That’s already illegal in most countries, regardless of how it was made. It also has nothing to do with “AI”.
