You really don't see any difference between using an AI to generate powershell script and using AI to milk murder of children?
I don't see the difference between doing this with AI or doing it with Photoshop. It's horrible independently of the tools used.
Thanks. That was precisely my point. The tools used to make this are irrelevant. It's fucked up regardless.
Cool, so you see no problem with these ghouls being even more efficient with AI because governments have zero fucking clue about new technology?
Are you too stupid to understand why that is a horrible thing?
Wait, what does Government tech-illiteracy have to do with this?
These people are using likeliness of actual people without their (or their heirs'/parents' in case of dead people) permission to make money off of tragedies. I don't know about you, but I think we as a society should have laws from preventing this from happening.
I think there should be legal avenues to shut down people who do that shit.
It doesn't matter what tools they're using. The solution is the same regardless.
So you would support government limiting an individual's right to run software on their computer because you don't agree with what the software outputs?
That's absolute nonsense. The entire premise of these machine learning models is that they accept any arbitrary input, you would want to neuter that?
