I honestly feel like every man or boy who does this to a woman or girl in his life should be sentenced to hard labor for a month and be banned from the internet for at least a year. Go break rocks or pick crops against your will for a month and contemplate your poor life choices.
Quote:In Spain last year, 15 boys in the south-western region of Extremadura were sentenced to a year’s probation after being convicted of using AI to produce fake naked images of their female schoolmates, which they shared on WhatsApp groups. About 20 girls were affected, most of them aged 14, while the youngest was 11.
Quote:Laura Bates, the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, says there is something particularly shocking about deepfake images. In her book The New Age of Sexism: How the AI Revolution Is Reinventing Misogyny, she writes: “Of all the forms of abuse I receive they are the ones that hurt most deeply – the ones that stay with me. It’s hard to describe why, except to say that it feels like you. It feels like someone has taken you and done something to you and there is nothing you can do about it. Watching a video of yourself being violated without your consent is an almost out-of-body experience.”
