At some point, the Maria account also posted the exact same videos as the Maria Dopari account but with a different face. It appears that for three videos posted between March 6 and 8, the Maria account accidentally used a face from one of its other fake personas, called Lana, which posts under several usernames under some variation of lana.down, the biggest of which has of 43,800 followers. The Maria account then continued posting with the face it used regularly. In some cases 404 Media was able to identify the original videos that were being stolen by these accounts.
Wtf.
You’re probably right, but this feels an awful lot like a ‘violence in video games will lead to violence in real life’ argument.
I’m fairly sure it’s not legal to create cartoons of children having sex with adults in the USA, so why should it be any different for humans who are mentally children?
While I don’t disagree with you, what if the violence in the game in question was specifically against people with Down’s Syndrome? I think that may bring it a little closer to being equal - in terms of the analogy, anyway. I don’t think the big problem here is the AI porn necessarily, so much as the fetishization of not just a minority, but one with an impairment. (Which I think is only further compounded by said impairment being largely cognitive/developmental in nature, as well.)
It’s the same argument. Even if this is a wild new kinda distasteful it’s not going to have any real affects in the real world.
