Anyone else old enough to remember when there was at least a pretense of common decency in politics?
Wasn’t that long ago. Then Trump came and broke everything.
Nah, the gloves came off during the 2012 election season.
We need legislation to ban AI generated content in campaign ads.
Nah. AI images and stuff are fine. We need legislation to ban the use of an AI likeness without permission.
What about someone generating fake imagery to create fear or anger about something?
There are a lot of ways AI art can be used to deceive.
We can do that already without "AI". It's been done. A bunch. Not a new problem.
The anti-Biden ad released by the GOP a few weeks ago was much more easier to tell was AI generated. This one is much more subtle that I wouldn’t have known used AI voice generation if it weren’t for the article. Yes it was simply a post on social media, but having it voiced over adds much more to reach its audience imo.
This is concerning.
Edit: anti-Biden ad
Imagining what ‘might be’ far scarier than actual reality it seems. I suppose it’s easier for them to just try and scare the living fuck out of people than to actually have actual policies people might vote for.
Outside of explicit and clearly labeled parody and satire, I'm starting to settle pretty securely on the idea that it should be illegal to use someone's likeness in a convincing manner without their permission.
There are absolutely a huge number of idiots who would take up arms over a drepfake of Biden announcing some kind of crackdown on Trump supporters or some idiotic bullshit like that.
Oh boy, here we go.
As much as I worry about deep fakes and AI content distorting society, this one is kind of fun.
