    You can’t ban the tech but you can ban the act so it’s easier to prosecute people that upload deep fakes of their co-workers.

      That’s already illegal in most countries, regardless of how it was made. It also has nothing to do with “AI”.

        Obviously, you can go after sites that have money and/or a real business presence, a la Pornhub. But the rest? It’s the wild west.

        I was referring to that part of his comment. It is also not at all illegal in most countries. Its only illegal at state level in the US for example, and not for all of them either. Canada only has 8 provinces with legislation against it.

        I do agree though that it’s not the softwares fault. Bad actors should be punished and nothing more.
