I don't care if a hyper realistic political figure impersonator gets up and does a comedy sketch. What I care about is if said impersonator got up and said "I, bob dole, use depends and think that everyone should use it".
That is, deception used for comedic effect should be protected. Deception used to hawk goods should not be ok.
Honestly, focusing on AI seems silly since the internet, at this point, is completely neck-deep in deceptive scams being pushed by reputable, mainstream, important orgs.
Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc. take in literal billions of revenue to show people scam ads. The scammers are directly paying them money - presumably these are not anonymous orgs, but people with credit card numbers and ID. And the big internet giants just gladly act as for-profit middle-men for ripping off confused elderly people, because reviewing the ads posted to their platform isn't practical.
Something has completely failed in enforcement.
They should be broken up and shut down no matter what will be “shifting” as a result (whatever that is supposed to mean)
The brightest minds of our generation are working on making us click more ads — its dangerous and an unimaginable waste.
I think that fakes happening on the internet isn't super interesting. Those are typically smaller scams anyways. I worry way more about much larger companies doing "Here's what so and so would say about this circumstance with our ai generation" or whatever.
Large companies have much larger reach than bitcoin scammers.
