Comment on Teen deepfake victim pushes for federal law targeting AI-generated explicit content

  Aguing that since you do a crime with a tool, outlawing the crime outlaws the tool is a bad argument. Outlawing murder doesn’t outlaw knives.

  As far as enforcement, it may be enforced with varying degrees of success but the argument that someone may get away with the crime also isn’t a reason not to make it a crime.

  If someone created deep fakes using locally run models, rubbed one out and then deleted everything they probably wouldn’t be caught…but largely who cares that they didn’t? It’s the harm to others that it causes that you would largely like to prevent, and if a person didn’t distribute the image at all them “getting away with it” doesn’t matter much.

    You conceded that no one cares if someone makes images locally then deletes them. But that’s how they’re all going to be made shortly.

    Currently folks are sharing them because not everyone has the means to create them, some folks do, and share what they’ve made.

    Once litterally every can just make them the moment they want to, no one will be sharing. Everyone will fall under that use case that you admitted no one would care about, which is exactly what I’ve been saying. It’s 1. futile to try to stop, and 2. going to become so wide spread that we as a society will stop caring about it.

      I do not think this is true. There are reasons to distribute them other than to have a wank and delete them immediately afterwards.

        Like what? Why share something when anyone curious to see it can instantly generate their own?
