The implications of what its going to cause are far bigger than pregnant LeBron videos. It worries me that there isn't more public debate over this, but I think it goes over a lot of people's heads just how many areas of life it will impact.
I'm legitimately fearful that within 5 years it will become near impossible to confirm if you're conversing with real people (its already difficult in certain situations), and that is also a surface level fear that doesn't touch on some of the absolute worst case scenarios.
I agree with you about the larger ramifications potentially involved. Moreover, a large number of artists, writers, actors, and producers have successfully sued over this in recent years, making it (for example) much more difficult for bad guys to use AI to simply copy the work of famous people (and either pretend to be them or pretend to generate creative product that is actually a near copy of real artists). I very much support this kind of legal work.
On the other hand, suing over the AI-generated production of obviously fake caricatures designed to mock public figures is silly. Similar types of satire have a long history in the West and have almost invariably been found to be protected free speech.
RIP magnumt--you're literally why I'm still here on these boards.
RIP The Hater--keep up the good fight in the great beyond.
