  • that is not what this comment thread is about

    • it very much is:

      OP: In Spain, dozens of girls are reporting AI-generated nude photos of them being circulated at school: ‘My heart skipped a beat’

      parent reply: Thats why we need Blockchain Technology

      • a discussion can have multiple, separate threads with branching topics, that's what this threaded comment system is specifically made to facilitate

        • okay, let's rethread how we got here:

          OP: Spanish girls report AI porn of them circulating

          parent comment: Blockchain could fix this

          1-st level reply: Blockchain can't counteract fake porn being created

          2-nd level reply: it lets you verify original source

          3-rd level reply: if anything it lets you verify integrity between sources

          you: if a central authority can't be trusted to verify sources then Blockchain can

          me: it's not about verifying provenance of the material but rather its mere existence in the world

          you: we can store the fingerprint of the file in a trusted database

          me: but this doesn't affect the material's existence

          you: you're going off-topic!

          me: I am not

          you: this conversation can have multiple threads

          can you now see how it's you who's off the rails in this conversation? noone ever questioned how blockchain could allow verifying any piece's of media authenticity, but spreading forged, nonconsensual erotica is NOT about proving whether a photo or video in question is authentic; the problem is that people have got tools to do so in the first place, and before a victim can counteract and prove (using blockchain if you will) that a particular photo is a forgery, the damage is done regardless
