Some people don't care about the fakery and are happy with a low quality way to beat off.
Other people don't care because their goal is not to get aroused but to embarrass the persons whose real faces have been faked onto the AI-generated or AI-edited porno footage.
Some people say 'logically we all know it is fake so just ignore it'. This demonstrates something of a lack of imagination, an inability to picture oneself or a beloved family member being put in that position. It also overlooks that different societies have different social standards and that social mobs tend toward the lowest common IQ denominator.
South Korea is a very conservative society, whether you agree with this conservatism or not. Being in a deepfake is easily enough to ruin a person's social or professional reputation, and schoolchildren are especially vulnerable to such pressures. It's not so different from the US problem with sextortion, where teens are tricked into sending nudes to an apparent romantic prospect, and then blackmailed. In both countries, such abuse can end in suicide.
In even more conservative countries like Islamic societies, the victims of such fakes could conceivably suffer criminal penalties if authorities don't believe (or deliberately subvert) their protestations of innocence.
- pessimizer 2y ago> Being in a deepfake is easily enough to ruin a person's social or professional reputation This is the problem with Korea, not deepfakes. That they have US-adjacent employment laws, and will fire people based on arbitrary anonymous bile. This shouldn't happen even when the photos are real. The idea that women who have been naked shouldn't work is repulsive.
- anigbrowl 2y agoDon't you think it's just a bit arrogant to say 'you should change your whole culture to accommodate this technology'? I don't care for SK's social conservatism either, but 'your society is wrong' is not a helpful response to people who don't want to be hassled by deepfake makers. Frankly I'm surprised that the conservative SK government is taking the issue seriously enough to legislate on it.
