  1. Pretending abortion is in the same realm as AI tool abuse is ridiculous and completely dishonest.

.

  1. Scare quotes? Are you for real? Since you don't understand, quotes denote emphasis or specificity, not emotion. "Teen", the emphasis here, was used because teens are barely educated in legal matters and it's their responsibility to seek assistance, not push legislation.

.

  1. If the adults in that area had actually responded properly, there wouldn't be an article about a new bill against AI, instead there'd be an article about defamation and debasement of a minor (likely by another minor, but that doesn't mean the other minors parents are infallible in this situation, you are either parents or you're not, if you are, you're responsible for your brats actions, if you're not, then the state will take the child and destroy them mentally, and likely physically, for your failures as a parent).

.

  1. Not a single thing I said dismissed this, and I would go even further to say anyone pursuing the AI angle is the one dismissing this, especially given the laws that already exist that can be used to assist and protect the teen in question.

.

  1. We've had adobe premier for more than 2 decades before generative AI and all of the issues surrounding deepfakes then cover every issue with generative AI now and wasting peoples time and money on this does not help improve the situation, instead it makes a mockery of the victim for the purposes of pushing an agenda.

What the heck are you talking about here?

Of course it's being pushed by a "teen" since this teen clearly doesn't have any understanding of the issues at hand..

...you're responsible for your brats actions...

...it makes a mockery of the victim

I'm glad you care about the dignity of the victim.

Since you don't understand, quotes denote emphasis or specificity, not emotion.

Actually quotes denote quotations. When used casually around an individual word or short phrase they generally indicate that the writer is emphasizing that these are someone else's words, and that the writer would have chosen a different description. As in: These people are described as "teens" but are probably not only/mostly teenagers. That may not be what you meant, but it's how that text will be read.

If you just want emphasis you might consider using bold or italics rather than quotes.
