There are websites you can submit pictures of anyone and pay to get very convincing video of them generated.

It is something that will have to be dealt with before the technology gets too far ahead of laws.

Here is an article of a streamer who got caught paying for deepfakes of other streamers:

Well. Thats just evil. Great. Now people are making Barclay's holo sex-dungeon essentially a real thing.

Thats just great.

Remember that time when Star Trek promised a future where we'd move past these kinds of things?

Somewhat ironically however....Star Trek already did it?

Paying someone to create fake porn of someone else without their consent is literally an entire episode of DS9.

First of all, yes sureLoss, you're right in the respect that the technology is accelerating at a faster pace than the legislation and we wont even discuss the ethics or morality of it because, honestly, if you've gone through the process of paying someone to make fake porn of someone else then 'The Good Ship Ethics' has already well and truly sailed in these circumstances.

This type of thing should be nuked from orbit.
