You may not have noticed there was a nude AI deepfake of Trump that's been viewed tens of millions of times, aired on Comedy Central.
That’s satire though.
Under any reasonable court (big caveat for American courts right now) that’s free speech.
And under any court at all, so is this. That's the problem.
how can an ai bot pull a free speech defense? free speech is, ostensibly, reserved for people...?
Are you under the impression that the AI bot was not created by people?
So? The manufacturer of the product is not responsible for how people use the product. Otherwise there would be no gun manufacturers anymore.
They are, however, responsible if the product they created does illegal things.
I disagree here, but I’m not a lawyer
Based on what? Who have you seen be convicted of making deepfake porn? Under what law?
I disagree that Grok appears as any form of satire here
No one said it was. What I said was that it doesn't matter if it's satire or not, it's still classified as free speech, until a court proves otherwise.
Uhm, there have been plenty of cases of people getting in trouble for sharing deepfake porn yes. It's sexual harassment.
Well, at least over here in Europe, and it's mostly been with teenagers, I don't know the situation on the US
But generally, making and sharing porn of real people is.. well.. that can very easily count as sexual harassement
Well no, that was a practical effect.
Only it was mostly real
Not anymore real than these photos from Grok.
