Sexually explicit AI-generated images of Taylor Swift have been circulating on X (formerly Twitter) over the last day in the latest example of the proliferation of AI-generated fake pornography and the challenge of stopping it from spreading.

X’s policies regarding synthetic and manipulated media and nonconsensual nudity both explicitly ban this kind of content from being hosted on the platform.

    Unhealthy things should be forbidden? Even if they were, this is drifting off of the subject of AI art.

      Things that are bad for society should be suppressed and things which are good for society should be promoted. That would seem to be the point of a society.

      Further, I notice a pastern in your replies of bringing up metaphor then rejecting the very metaphor as off topic or irrelevant when it is engaged to it’s logical conclusion.

      No accusing you of engaging in bad faith or anything, but it smells (sorry, metaphor again) less-than-fresh.

        Things that are bad for society should be suppressed and things which are good for society should be promoted.

        Should we also have a single wise man to decide which is which? That has been tried before, multiple times.

          Well we certainly shouldn’t have violence for violence, as is the Rule of Beasts.

        Great, now we just need to establish whether AI art is “bad for society”, and if it is then whether the effects of attempting to ban it would be worse for society.

        What metaphors did I bring up? You’re the one who brought fast food into this. I don’t see any other metaphors in play.

          That seems fairly evident

          You’re the one who brought fast food into this.

          You were fine engaging fastfood until I pointed out it, like AI " art " was terrible. Only then did you deride the metaphor as off topic.

            Hardly. There wouldn’t be much debate about it if it was, would there?

            Alright, in future I will try to remember to immediately reject any metaphors you bring into play rather than attempt to engage with them.

              Sure there can be. People debate crypto being good and that’s roundly recognized as ecocide. People “debate” who counts as people all the time. People can be wrong and loud.

              Not saying you have to do that, but if you don’t it’s rather untoward to bring it up later as though it’s a problem.

                Ethereum switched to proof-of-stake a year and a half ago, it no longer has a significant environmental impact.

                Oh wait, this is an analogy, isn’t it?

                    No, just pointing out who’s in the “loud but wrong” camp on that one. If ecological concerns are why you think crypto is bad, well, that’s not clear cut any more.

                    You want to keep going with this analogy you brought up, then?
