First let me say that I fully understand how the leaking of actual intimate photos/videos can be very devastating. No arguments there.
But AI porn? There are so many gray areas and loopholes. This just feels so friggin' half-baked. It just feels like something that should be handled on a case by case basis. If somebody creates AI porn of somebody and uses it for clearly harmful purposes (blackmail, humilating somebody to their coworkers, whatever) then that should be punished.
But, outlawing them altogether? We tolerate pornographic fanfiction and traditional pornographic illustrations of real adults, even though these might be upsetting to the people depicted therein.
Therefore the issue with deepfakes is that not only are these things upsetting, but they might be mistaken for actual photos and videos.
- What if I create deepfake porn of $FAMOUS_ACTRESS but it's sort of crappy, and nobody could reasonably mistake it for an actual photo of $FAMOUS_ACTRESS?
- What if I create deepfake porn of $FAMOUS_ACTRESS and it's extremely photorealistic, but has clearly fantastical elements? (e.g. she is naked on the surface of the moon, she is having sex with Godzilla, etc)
- What if I create deepfake porn of $FAMOUS_ACTRESS and it's realistic, but I've clearly indicated via caption or some other means that it's a synthetic image and not an actual photo of $FAMOUS_ACTRESS?
- What if I create deepfake porn of $FAMOUS_ACTRESS and censor/pixelate out her face?
- What if I create deepfake porn of $FAMOUS_ACTRESS and censor/pixelate the explicit parts?
- How explicit is explicit? What if I've depicted $FAMOUS_ACTRESS in a swimsuit or other revealing outfit that is perfectly legal to wear in public? (reminder: going topless or even nude is legal in a lot of places too)
- What if I've generated AI porn of $FAMOUS_ACTRESS that is based on publicly available images? eg: nude scenes from her movies, etc
- What if I create deepfake porn and you can't tell who it is? Do we go on a search for the victim?
- What if I create AI-generated porn and it accidentally looks like somebody real?
- What if I create deepfake porn of $FAMOUS_ACTRESS but I never say it's her?
- What if I create deepfake porn of $FAMOUS_ACTRESS but I change a detail or two? Perhaps I depict her with the "wrong" eye color, or add a scar, or something. So is this deepfake porn of "her" or more of a derivative work?
