A thread on the AI board just got deleted, along with a comment I had just written. I don’t know if it was deleted by a moderator for being a realistic GIF on gurochan, or deleted by the OP, possibly because he didn’t like my comment or others. But I think the discussion made some important points so I’m reposting my comment.

The OP had said “it went viral and garnered over 2,000 likes. The video was so realistic that no one realized it was AI-generated.” I responded (approximately) “Do I understand you to mean that over 2000 people thought it was a real video of a real person getting her real breasts cut off, and in that belief, they LIKED it?” I don’t see how his statement can be taken any other way.

I then said, and I stand by it now, that I have absolutely no objection to AI generating any fantasy, no matter what it is and no matter how realistic it looks. (One exception I’d consider is deliberately making it look like a real person, against that person’s will, such as celebrity fakes.) But one person ‘liking’ what they think is a real attack on a real person is bad enough, and two or more people supporting each other in that with ‘likes’ constitutes a “cesspool of madness” that someone said Reddit had become (but inexplicably he said so because of common hatred for AI, not for common acceptance of real crimes).
