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.
So for the past year there have been of deep fakes of thousands of minors floating around but it really becomes a problem when a mega famous billionaire is affected where it doesn’t really make much of a difference. Not to say it isn‘t about time. It absolutely is. Interesting priorities though.
It’s entirely logical and definitional that what happens to a celebrity gets more attention than what happens to non celebrities. It could only be this way. You have fumbled whatever type of moral scolding this was supposed to be. Let’s just accept the world is imperfect and celebrate that the issue will get more attention now.
I think her fans are the one who made this a big issue for media attention.
Sounds like the system is working as intended, it’s not a problem in the US unless it’s affecting the 1%.
It’s not a problem at all. It’s an opportunity.
Just think! An entirely new class of merchandise: Make Taylor Swift the avatar of your AI assistant. Cam chat with the genuine Taylor Swift AI.
Or Taylor Swift Movies and cameos. Any nobody actor plays her part and Taylor’s likeness is deep-faked onto her. Any show where they pretend that some fictional character is a famous singer. That can be the real Taylor. They can churn that out while the biological Taylor is out there, making money.
But for all the licensing money to roll in, you need to turn a human likeness into a property that can be bought and sold. Best if piracy can be turned into a federal crime in the process. That gives you way more power to snoop out file-sharers and the taxpayer has to foot the bill.
I mean cha-cha-cha-ching. You with me?
Exactly. It’s mind blowing the obsession a lot of them have with making pictures of an underage Greta Thunberg.
