How different is photoshopped fakes from AI fakes? Are we going to try to bad that too?

ETA: *ban that too. Thx phone kb.

What does the method matter? If the result is an artifact that is convincing enough for the average person to believe that the subject knowingly posed for sex acts that never occurred, the personal experience and social stigma is traumatizing no matter how it was made.

As the sociologist Brooke Harrington puts it, if there was an E = mc^2^ of social science, it would be SD > PD, “social death is more frightening than physical death.”

That's my point. If we're going to ban AI fakes should we then ban ALL fakes? Where do we draw the line and how do we do that without limiting free speech? I'm not sure it is possible.

And the days of believing everything you see are over but most don't know it yet.

You're restricting speech whether or not you confine your censorship to only AI-generated images.
