Amy Klobuchar learned that a video clip of her was going viral on social media. So she clicked on it. She saw her face and her voice saying vulgar things she had never said. It was an AI deepfake.

    Klobuchar will just use this as another rallying cry to tear down Section 230 and make the internet even worse. You can read it yourself, but earlier this year she tried to use a 19 year old ODing on fentanyl he bought off Snapchat as a reason to “… get rid of or reform section 230 …”

    Not sure how that’s going to stop people from ODing on adulterated narcotics, but maybe supporting harm reduction and mental health services would be a better use of my tax payer money.

    Hard to imagine how they’re going to take down deepfakes without limiting freedom of information or how they will prove who made the content.

      Well they already have a leg up with the TAKE IT DOWN Act that Democrats worked with Ted Cruz and Trump to get passed.

        To my knowledge, that only covers pornographic content.

          And the Patriot Act was only implemented to catch terrorists. What’s considered “pornographic content” is entirely subjective and up to the personal feelings of a particular judge.

      She has a well earned reputation of sounding in private just like in the video . I’m sure the video is not her, but it was really accurate in tone; which is why it’s getting traction

    I mean… Yes, that is what deepfakes are. I am sorry it happened to poor old Amy, and I whish her vulgar, algorythmic doppelganger wouldn’t have said awul things but… If this is news to you you might have not be paying attention for a while.

      It’s this one, although I can’t find the original, only the reaction to it.

    I think this is a good thing. Now there’s plausible deniability for anything you might have said in the past that surfaces - that’s just a deepfake! Don’t cancel me, it’s not real.

      Yes, what a good thing, the end of consequences and easily proven fact.
