A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Sure. We already do that some. But we do the same basic thing around not believing rumors and that doesn't obliviate the harm they do.
Putting aside the issue of how many people want the rumor to be true or the deep fakes to be real, people expending effort to say/produce something harmful or uncomfortable is hurtful to the subject/victim. The idea that people could believe it is hurtful.
This is all exacerbated with young people because their brains are wired to care more about peer socialization and perception than adult brains.
Even things we know aren't true damage our reputations and perceptions. I know JD Vance didn't fuck a couch, but it's one of the first things that comes to mind when he's mentioned.
Education about the reality of AI generated nudes isn't a bad thing (and, like, every teen already knows this is a thing, anyway), but that doesn't stop the harm for the subject due to the association with the material.
