They seem to be getting a pass on using copyrighted materials to feed these programs so I am doubting that we would get legislation protecting our own likenesses, or those of our loved ones. I bet you couldn't even get lawmakers to understand what they would need to write into law. They (american lawmakers) all seem to be so up to speed on technology. /s

Not until someone starts making clips of lawmakers narrating their own crimes and unethical behavior, then they'll get it done immediately.

Not that I'm suggesting anyone do that...

I was thinking the same thing, or if a lawmakers granddaughter is AI'ed into some porn.

How the fuck does someone go from "I want to punish this person" to "lets make porn of a woman in his life who has nothing to do with it, that'll show 'em!"??

Surely there are a million ways you can come up with to include whichever lawmaker in a deepfake that don't include violating an unrelated woman?

Because that's a news story I have already read about. This has happened to people. No need to be so sanctimonious.
