Making deepfake porn without consent could soon be a crime in England
The creation of sexually explicit deepfake content is likely to become a criminal offense in England and Wales as concern grows over the use of artificial intelligence to exploit and harass women.
You're viewing a single thread.
I have a hard time accepting this as a crime. What if the illustration hand-drawn, or clothed but still sexual in character? Is caricature illegal, by this standard?
You'd better not have a particularly vivid imagination or else you'll be prosecuted for daydreaming.
Yea, this is a funny thing to think about.
You can jerk off to photos of people, you can imagine some wild things involving other people etc.
If you just create some deepfake porn to masturbate by yourself to, I don't see a big problem with that.
The only issue I can find is, that due to neglect someone else sees it, or even hears about it.
The problem starts with sharing. Like it would be sexual harassment to tell people who you are masturbating to, especially sharing with the "actors" of your fantasies.
There is however another way this could go:
Everyone can now share nudes with way less risk.
If anyone leaks them, just go: "That's a deepfake. This is obviously a targeted attack by the heathens of the internet, who are jealous of my pure and upstanding nature. For me only married missionary with lights out."
There’s a big difference between a deep fake and a caricature.
Yeah, but only one of degree.
How so?
It's making an image of someone that portrays them in an unrealistic and offensive context.
So if I use AI to make pornography of 50 men gang banging you, you will consider that to be on the same level as going to a carnival and getting a characture done?
Huh, you must have replied somewhat late to this - I'm sure I checked back here for any replies before I returned to my main instance for good.
Actually, yes. If you sent it to me, that would be sexual harassment (just like if you sent me an unsolicited text description of what you want to do to me), but I don't care what you do in private.
So if I send it to people who aren't you... it's okay?
Also yes.
The difference is so big, it easily becomes qualitative.
Ooohh, can't wait to see us waste billions of dollars deliberating what is acceptable just like with copyright law.
This is another law that only exists to protect rich people. Poor people can't afford a lawyer and don't have time to show up in court.
You seriously can't see why deep fakes are a serious problem to everyone?
This law won't protect just rich.
Imagine the chaos as some idiot teen creates a deep fake of some other teen in a compromising position.
Go talk to an attorney and see what they have to say about it.
Is caricature illegal, by this standard?
No.
The official government announcement is linked in the article btw.
