Oh boy, the identity and copyright laws will be chaotic as ai gets more and more advanced. I’m all in for abolishing copyrights but I have no idea what to think about your identity being duplicated/recreated. When is something your identity and when it stops being it? It will be obvious with 1:1 copies of popular people/actors but what about situations where copies are tinkered with to resemble someone less or when you do a mix of multiple people to create one person? What about people that are not known by everyone? What if the virtual person resembles someone by accident?
What makes copyright bad but identity protection good? Copyright prohibits the unauthorized duplication of your actual labor. To my mind that’s more egregious than simply copying the shape of your face.
I’d be a lot less pissed off if someone copied my face than if they copied something that actually took me effort to produce.
Wasn’t my point. It’s more about WHAT someone does with your “identity” in public media. In the long term I can see it being abolished too but in the short term there will be a lot of drama about it for sure.
Edit:
Wasn’t my point.
Yeah, it seems like it was my point in my original comment, my bad.
