No, chat bot operators should be put in prison for killing people.
"Pornographic deepfakes" are only something you need "protection from" if you're against adulthood.
You're letting the authorities infantilize you yet again
Preventing the spread of pornographic deepfakes is simply an extension of very reasonable existing laws banning revenge porn..
Deepfakes in general should have significant legal regulation around them as an extension of libel/slander/defamation/disinformation laws. Imagine if you pissed the wrong person off, and they generated a bunch of deepfake videos of you cruelly killing dogs, then circulated them around to your friends, family, or potential employers. Or imagine if a politician campaigning for reform has a deepfake video generated where they argue in favor of pedophilia.
Punish people that spread pornographic deepfakes, don’t try and censor the product that people used to make them.
Should photoshop be banned?
No, I'm recognizing the limitations of the law and technology and accountability.
You're letting your beliefs to trick you into thinking they are facts and that you're right while everyone else is wrong. It comes off as rude.
Limitations of the law and technology?
No, limitations of criminal gangs that pose as government and sabotage technological development.
There's no actual law against arresting unjustified homicide perpetrators. Tech billionaires aren't magically immune to classic handcuff technology.
