In an unsurprising story out of Denver, CO, 29-year-old Ethan Gaines says he’s “firmly against” the regulation of deepfakes, while simultaneously being the main reason why they should be regulated.
“Deepfakes being regulated is an infringement upon my rights!” Ethan told reporters. “I should
Only people who believe they’d benefit from regulating deepfakes are some high profile and/or internet narcissists.
“Boohoo someone made a video of Trump’s hemorrhoids and Biden licking them” Everyone already knows you can easily fake some video without using “AI” for it, we have a whole fucking industry for it pumping hundred movies out every Saturday. We already know you shouldn’t believe everything you see.
Goes a bit beyond that nowadays. Deep fakes can be used to create false evidence for example
thats already illegal
So you have no issues with me distributing deepfakes of you burning crosses across your neighborhood?
I’m not saying deepfakes should not be regulated.
I’m saying the examples are poor because scamming people is already illegal.
So you aren’t actually syaing anything at all. You’re just being contrarian for the sake of it.
Not exactly. Arguments like “they should be regulated because they can be used for illegal stuff” are moot, since those usages are already regulated. I’m on the fence on the whole regulation thing and I’ve yet to see any actual realistic examples on how regulation would look.
Is it even logical to regulate ai images specifically, or should we lump it in together with any form of image manipulation?
In a courtroom sure. What about putting it on YouTube?
Okay but can you tell the difference between legal real evidence and illegal false evidence?
The technology is there to create this type of false evidence, it’s not going back to the Pandora’s box anymore. The truth is that you can’t trust a single videotape as 100% evidence alone.
Oh hi Ethan
Didn’t expect him to show up and defend his own article lol
