Pandora's Box is already opened, unfortunately. The Streisand Effect is only going to make this worse.
The only real options for response for a celebrity or public figure is 1) say nothing or 2) make light of it by saying something like, “I’m flattered, they made me look better than I do!”
I'd imagine this will also be very problematic for non-celebrities from all sorts of backgrounds as well. The harassment potential is very concerning.
Agreed. Just need to teach our kids that it literally isn’t the end of the world and how to deal with it.
All that's going to do is give abusers power over others.
What really needs to happen is for that kind of tech, and more importantly using any software, AI or not, to do such a thing, to be outlawed. It shouldn't be protected under the first amendment.
Unfortunately, that isn’t going to do much.
It would prevent a child in school from creating such an image and openly sharing it because it would be illegal.
Yes. Because kids never do anything illegal.
And I certainly wouldn't know anything about the misuse of fireworks, rocket engines or household chemicals which mysteriously happened in my hometown when I was young.
Yes, by all means, it should be illegal to make and distribute these sorts of images. But, the tech is out there, it's going to happen. We're going to need to teach children the mental resilience to deal with these image when they happen. And try to make it much less of a big deal.
no, they're proposing NOT giving abusers power.
Then they're clearly lying or ignorant, for it will do the opposite.
r u sure u red what they rote?
Are you drunk as me right now or is the Mary Jane making you seeing pink elephants too?
Or Taylor Swift go brrr. Don't get me wrong, I support her actions.
