politics @lemmy.world•Senator Amy Klobuchar learned that a video clip of her was going viral. So she clicked on it and saw her face and her voice saying things she had never said. It was an AI deepfake.
2·2 months agoTheir voter base is not the most educated, so they are VERY susceptible to misinformation. Also, they have raised their base to be extremely reactionary.
It is not really the politicians these would be aimed at, even though some have very fragile egos and may act solely because it hurts their feefees.

18·2 months agoI think this is similar to the gerrymandering issue where, since only the Republicans have abused it for years, they have had 0 reason to vote for any legislation put up against it.
Now that the D’s are doing it, they might consider the risk is higher than the reward with Gerrymandering and say nobody is allowed to do it.
Just gotta start pumpin out gen images of Rs for them to reconsider their stance.
To be clear, I am very against AI gen images. But, like you were saying, I don’t see any reason for them to take any action against it until it affects them.
