White House calls for legislation after ‘alarming’ proliferation of Taylor Swift deepfakes — Social media networks also need to do more to prevent the spread of the images, said press secretary Kar…::The White House said sexually-explicit AI-generated images of pop star Taylor Swift were concerning and that Congress should consider legislation to address fake, abusive images that are proliferating online.
I think the funniest part about all of this is that fake nudes have been around for years yet now that it’s “AI” it needs dealt with.
More like now that it’s taytay it needs to be dealt with
I’ve seen fake nudes of Taylor Swift almost as many times as seeing fake nudes of Britney Spears.
In my case that’s a “0”
If I had a list of 1,000 things the White House ought to be doing right now, legislating Taylor Swift deepfakes would be 1,001.
Yeah who cares about women right?
Yeah! Who cares about women, fuck em!

People care about women, you goon. Realize that there are many more important issues affecting the global landscape, we shouldn’t care about some fake naked pictures of a popstar.
I’d rather them find solutions to things like the 2 active wars happening in the world, the bubbling civil war on the American southern border, and golbel tensions reaching highs only seen at the beginning of the last 2 world wars…
Lets fix that shit before we allow ourselves the luxury of protecting peoples’ shareholders.

This is the dumbest paragraph.
“People do care about women! That’s why ‘we shouldn’t care’ about the slew of abusive fake nude photos of them all over the internet! Literally every other problem on earth is more important than protecting women. See? I totally care!”
Don’t be obtuse and pretend you think this is just about “a popstar.” This problem and any legislation affects countless women and girls.
One thing about Lemmy is that it’s so much more misogynistic than reddit ever was, which I would have never thought possible.
I’m not the one being obtuse, I understand that this is about every woman and respecting the autonomy of every woman’s body. Overturning Wade v. Roe was the largest step back in society in the last 50 years of politics. But I like to be selective about what to talk about. I could write entire novels worth of comments on why we should care about every one of these issues. Every single one of these things is important and worth proper discussion and problem solving. My stance is that we should be more focused on not letting the world implode with all of the stupid overseas conflicts than allow the star power of Taylor Swift to distract from a larger issue.
I don’t appreciate being called misogynistic. I’d like to remind you that I’m a stranger on the internet that you don’t know shit about. I apologize that my point of view doesn’t align with yours, but to assume a horrible stance about someone you don’t know a thing about is a part of the reason why this society is so dysfunctional.
If you’d like to have a constructive conversation about how brutally misogynistic, then I’m happy to. I’m sure I could use a lesson or 2, cause I would never claim to know I have a perfect working knowledge about the issues. Only that I know enough to have intellectual conversations with other people to learn more.
You do realize that they wouldn’t pass a special law that would make AI generated photos of Taylor Swift illegal and everyone else’s would stay legal right?
This event is being used as a catalyst to put in proper legislation about deepfakes, something that impacts everyone but impacts your average woman much more. I agree with the other commenter that it’s unfortunate that this is the event that caused people to take this seriously, but better late than never.
Sorry, but I can’t see anyone who thinks that AI generated images of non consenting women is issue “1001 out of 1000” as someone who gives a shit about women and issues that impact them, especially as we are in the middle of an AI revolution. This is EXACTLY the time to be solving issues like this.
I wonder how Public Figure law factors in to this.
Only caring about this topic now when it happens to some filthy rich white woman huh
Plenty of regular folks calling for this for decades and only once someone far enough up the money tree gets hurt do they do something. Frankly disgusting.
Decades? We had deep fakes for decades?
We had edited photos for decades. There’s no difference in the effect.
And yes, people have been working on AI in earnest since the 80s, just wasn’t in the public space.
“Fake”
