I feel an easy and rational solution is to criminalize a certain category of defamation… presenting something untrue/fabricated as true/real or in a way that it could be construed as true/real.
Anything other than that narrow application is an infringement on the First Amendment.
Exactly. Photoshop has been around for decades. AI is just more of the same. I find it weird how, as technology evolves, people keep fixating on the technologies themselves rather than the universal (sometimes institutional) patterns of abuse.

I would love that solution, but it definitely wouldn’t have bipartisan support.
It’s not, though. Not remotely. At least not in the US.
Defamation of an individual (including “individual” entities like an org or business) is purely a civil matter, and defamation in a broader sense, such as against “antifa” or “leftists” or “jews” or “gays” et al, has no remedy whatsoever, civil or criminal.

The majority of “AI” generated / altered porn is already very much labeled as such though.

There are certain political groups that have a vested interest in lying, deceiving, manipulating, and fabricating to get what they want. So… yeah. 😞
I feel that’s just most political groups nowadays. Not implying both sides are the same, just that everyone likes their lies.
But that just is illegal already.
