I Am Mr. Collins: Oh crap, I just realized my comment could be read as justifying deepfake porn. ABSOLUTELY NOT. That is just wrong to do. It was more that they can think it's real, making it even worse. Sorry about the confusion!

Years ago I wrote about how the fantasy of so many men in tech re: AI was to create a woman that doesn't talk back. It's not an original idea--it populates sci-fi, like Ex Machina. But it's also an easy point to argue because so many guys will just... say it.

impressive how much these puff pieces for AI still make the people involved sound like sociopaths

when I was first brought in to produce/direct vr shit around 2018 one of my many early horrifying reactions was "creepy dudes are gonna try to use this to fuck celebrities" and sure enough we got deepfake vr

And that wouldn't be so bad if they would just ADMIT it's for fantasy.

I think thats the same thing

There is a difference between recognizing a fantasy and thinking it may come true.

I wish blocking you would delete these comments for everyone
