There are already laws against creating false content about people, so adding more laws isn’t going to make the previous laws more or less valid and it’s only going to waste time and money.
Of course it’s being pushed by a “teen” since this teen clearly doesn’t have any understanding of the issues at hand, the technology at hand nor the laws that already exist to help them with this issue.
It was up to the adults around this teen to help her navigate the issue and instead the incompetent pieces of worthless shit choose to push a new bill against AI rather than use the current legal framework that exists to actually help this girl.
Anything to abuse a child or teens situation for their political gain. Worthless trash.
It’s being pushed by someone who was a victim of deep fake ai porn, so I think they understand the issues at hand just fine, you don’t have to agree with her, but don’t be a patronizing asshole about it.
Disagreeing strongly isn’t patronizing.
Saying “this teen clearly doesn’t have an understanding of the issues at hand” is.
trackcharlie@lemmynsfw.com would call you “illiterate or a dishonest asshole” for missing that part of one of his walls of text, but honestly I think it’s understandable.
This is an actual law proceeding, with lawyers and adults involved. The teen is just the face of it.
Thanks for not actually reading my comment and making it clear to everyone who did that you’re either illiterate or a dishonest asshole.
I read your comment just fine, and the way you spoke about the teen in question was incredibly patronizing.
Then you should work on your reading comprehension.
Have you figured out what a scare quote is yet
Why did you put “teen” in scare quotes?
Why do you assume they did not? What do you think they should do instead?
Don’t you think it’s much stranger when people dismiss the abuse of children? For example, in this case: what do you think should have been done?
Pretending abortion is the same as AI is ridiculous.
Scare quotes? Are you for real? Since you don’t understand, quotes denote emphasis or specificity, not emotion. “Teen”, the emphasis here, was used because teens are barely educated in legal matters and it’s their responsibility to seek assistance, not push legislation.
If the adults in that area had actually responded properly, there wouldn’t be an article about a new bill against AI, instead there’d be an article about defamation and debasement of a minor (likely by another minor, but that doesn’t mean the other minors parents are infallible in this situation, you are either parents or you’re not, if you are, you’re responsible for your brats actions, if you’re not, then the state will take the child and destroy them mentally, and likely physically, for your failures as a parent).
Not a single thing I said dismissed this, and I would go even further to say anyone pursuing the AI angle is the one dismissing this, especially given the laws that already exist that can be used to assist and protect the teen in question.
We’ve had adobe premier for more than 2 decades before generative AI and all of the issues surrounding deepfakes then cover every issue with generative AI now and wasting peoples time and money on this does not help improve the situation, instead it makes a mockery of the victim for the purposes of pushing an agenda.
What the heck are you talking about here?
I’m glad you care about the dignity of the victim.
Evidently you’ve the privilege of never having been introduced to the child care system and given your comment it seems like anyone around you who has been introduced to the horrific state of the system wouldn’t trust you with their experiences of it if you think discussing reality is an ‘indignity’.

E. Original comment was removed by an incompetent malcontent who would rather push an anti ai narrative than have a serious discussion about the realities of child abuse and then prop up the discussion points of dumbfucks that like to pretend like it isn’t a problem and make false equivalencies between AI and abortion instead of engaging the topic from a point in reality where there are already laws against false allegations and fake imagery created for the purposes of ‘revenge’ or other negative motives.
Spamming a wall of links doesn’t make you look smart, especially when you use the same link twice in a row. (archived)
If anything, it makes you look like you don’t care. And if you do care, why not explain?
Speaking of which, when I asked you what your preferred course of action was regarding the teen who had deepfake porn made of her, you didn’t really point to anything.
Actually quotes denote quotations. When used casually around an individual word or short phrase they generally indicate that the writer is emphasizing that these are someone else’s words, and that the writer would have chosen a different description. As in: These people are described as “teens” but are probably not only/mostly teenagers. That may not be what you meant, but it’s how that text will be read.
If you just want emphasis you might consider using bold or italics rather than quotes.
