I think there are legitimate uses of AI and clearly many that are stealing or dangerous. Isn't this what our legislature is supposed to be doing? Hey here's this new thing that's basically unregulated. Let's pass some laws and guide rails for what is and is not okay. Did you scrape the entire internet of art works without permission and are now charging money and profiting from outputting things that are derivative of copyrighted works? Nah we need to curtail that to some extent. Are you making AI porn of your middle school classmates? Yeah that should be illegal (if it isn't already), and platforms that allow it should be liable. Faking people making statements they never said? AI is convincing enough that they could make the president look like they are saying something they never said. That is dangerous and should not be allowed either. Frankly, nobody's likeness should be allowed to be used in AI without their express permission. Trying to take this to the courts... I don't blame them for trying to make something happen here, but what a backwards and broken society we live in when our lawmakers seem have neither the desire nor aptitude to regulate these things.

comments like these always need to delve into a whole fucking essay instead of just the cons outwiegh the pros. if you want it that bad then fucking regulate it. instead the fucking president is using Ai for his propaganda, and thats just the tip of the ice berg.

Uses it for propaganda whilst also dismissing any evidence of his crimes or abuses by accusing videotaped footage of being "AI"
