celeb news White House appeals to Congress to take legislative action on Taylor Swift AI images

[Psylocke]

Meanwhile they're still bombing Palestinian children!

[Jpkun]

There can be more than one very important, existential crisis in the world. I think AI regulation is actually one of the biggest issues facing our rapidly changing world. If she can be a part of getting regulations put into place, that will actually be a great, positive contribution to the world. 

[Seahorse]

I don’t see how this is enforceable. 
 

And people were making celebrity fakes before AI.

Taylor is not the first, nor the only person that this has happened to. Taylor speaking up about it and the reaction to it led to the White House looking into the matter. I would assume the same thing could happen about other serious world issues if Taylor ever spoke up about ANYTHING other than herself, her money or her reputation. But I guess that's expecting too much! 

The White House comments on a ton of stuff. Not once did they say they were dedicating any resources to this. And yet here you are

[Sombre]

Smart move on this administration's end considering Taylor's popularity right now.

Congress doesn’t care about these issues unless a wealthy white woman is the victim of it  

 

I’m glad restrictions on AI might be put up, but it shouldn’t have taken some pop star for this to happen

This is an instance where Taylor can use her immense social power for the good of humanity. I'm not complaining. 

 

With that said, I hope to see actual change come from this. The White House loves to give empty promises...

Fixed it for ya.
The only way we can make congress to care about this issue is that there are AI porns of these Congress*men* laying around. How many time do I need to remind y'all that they were passing AOC's deepfake porns around?

What has Taylor said about it? Can you link me?

 

And sorry to break it to you but addressing this AI thing isn't what's stopping the White House from calling for a ceasefire

People acting like Gaza legislation is not being worked on because other matters took the priority

[dedratermai]

leave them up, I need some material to use

OTHs are malfunctioning.

The White House and Biden administration can be wrong about their stance on the Palestinian genocide while being right that AI legislation is desperately needed - and also wrong for having waited until the biggest celebrity in America right now was the target of something like this! That’s really not even that nuanced or complex of a situation! The Biden administration doesn’t suck on the subject of Gaza because of Taylor Swift (who has NOT publicly said ANYTHING about what she has experienced this week and did NOT ask them for this). It sucks on the issue because Joe Biden has always been weak on the issue of Israel’s occupation and genocide of the Palestinian people (and Democrats more generally have largely always sucked on this issue, too).

I’m not very tuned in to the whole AI thing but how exactly would they go about banning these deepfakes or whatever they’re called. Celebrity “fake” porn has existed for decades, with famous people’s faces being photoshopped onto nude bodies. Even before photoshop, people apparently used to physically cut and paste photos of faces onto bodies and sell it. This AI thing is essentially the same thing, except that it now no longer requires any kind of skill/effort from the producer of the porn. 
 

This kind of thing should  100% be banned but I don’t know if it’s going to be possible or how they could enforce it and prevent it.

right like? it's still sick & perverted no doubt, but this kinda thing has existed since the dawn of the internet basically. No idea why people are acting like this an issue exclusive to AI.

Things like revenge porn or non-consensual depictions of sexual acts are already illegal in many jurisdictions. Legislation aimed at AI would aim to reduce the ease and speed with which bad actors would be producing that kind of material, and it would likely aim to intentionally hamper the capabilities of AI models that today can easily (and ever more accurately) generate that kind of material. It could clarify existing laws and adjust sentencing guidelines for crimes related to creating a non-consensual depiction of sexual activity, and it could give victims stronger protections when seeking damages in civil suits. What we don’t necessarily want, however, is for this to tip over into gutting key internet protections like section 230. It would probably complicated and difficult, but still possible to start regulating AI in a way that helps alleviate things like this.

I think there are much bigger problems than this

 

But this is important and is not because Taylor is involved, AI faking porn is a massive issue that needs to be addressed 

 

Taylor is strong but if people do this to more vulnerable people it could be a traumatic experience 

 

Time to take the stan glasses off and look at bigger picture

These AI-generated images demand a specific level of computational power that is not readily available to most users or is just too costly. There are numerous websites accessible online, both free and paid, that enable individuals to input any prompts they choose and generate sexually suggestive content with celebrities. I could see them implement some kind of legislation to restrict the sale of services by major server companies and websites dedicated to AI-generated images, particularly those intended for creating such explicit content.

Pathetic lol fake celeb porn pics have been done since the internet began. Sure they are more advanced now but if it was someone else would they be addressing it? Doubt it

You should be embarrassed that you need a silly little pop star to fight humanity’s battles. A tweet from Taylor Swift isn’t gonna end an age old conflict nor will it end a literal genocide, the onus is not on her or any other musician. It’s on our politicians, our military, and our community.

I know right? they downplay her power and influence until they need a tweet or a favor. They should ask their faves instead. 

[KarmaCat]

Sag aftra also just issued a statement. Her power is just wiiiiild

[MonsterJohn]

Of course America would rush to a rich white woman's rescue

The dislikes in this post as if it isn't the truth. 

 

POC (and underage!!!) actress Xochitl Gomez's had AI p*rn of her online and her MOTHER had to try and take it down, to no avail mind you - she was not able to take it down.

So you agree, you agree that there's absolute a huge issue about unregulated AIs generating AI porns on the Internet that needs to be addressed asap.

[poki]

The White House said on Friday it was alarmed by fake online images of the pop singer Taylor Swift

 

So they deadass only started to care once it happened to a billionaire.
