    I feel an easy and rational solution is to criminalize a certain category of defamation… presenting something untrue/fabricated as true/real or in a way that it could be construed as true/real.

    Anything other than that narrow application is an infringement on the First Amendment.

      I would love that solution, but it definitely wouldn’t have bipartisan support.

        There are certain political groups that have a vested interest in lying, deceiving, manipulating, and fabricating to get what they want. So… yeah. 😞

          I feel that’s just most political groups nowadays. Not implying both sides are the same, just that everyone likes their lies.

      The majority of “AI” generated / altered porn is already very much labeled as such though.

        Exactly. Photoshop has been around for decades. AI is just more of the same. I find it weird how, as technology evolves, people keep fixating on the technologies themselves rather than the universal (sometimes institutional) patterns of abuse.
