I don’t think we should be treating AI as something outside of being a tool.
People should do whatever they want with the tool, and all the things people are already stopped from doing due to law, should be what they’re stopped from doing with AI, as it is any other tool.
AI isn’t “any other tool”, it’s global reach, industrial scale “content generation” for any idiot.
The vast majority of lies aren’t considered crimes, nor is it a crime to run spambot armies to sell shit, nor is accelerating the “dead internet theory”, or spamming amazon listings with genai slop books. Depending on the country, scam attempts aren’t crimes, it’s only a crime if someone falls for it.
But hey, “people should do whatever they want”, minus the unlawful stuff, so fuck everyone who gets a worse internet experience because of that, eh?

Is what marketing sells it as, but so was social media, but in terms of giving any idiot reach, and photoshop for giving any idiot the ability to doctor photos (with a bit more effort) and… There are many technologies that changed “everything”.
The difference is this one is in a bubble state propping up the US GDP and masking recession indicators, so marketing is going overtime for it.

These are problems that existed before as well and fall on poor social media moderation and media literacy.
The most dangerous threat with AI is high scale, coordinated misinformation attacks, and laws for the common man just means monopoly money for a few top companies in reality.

It’s not the common man doing this to any appreciable extent.

Please tell me how long it takes for an average skilled photoshop user to create one fake porn image of someone they know.

can’t wait for it to pop

When you look at numbers, indeed not, giant corpos are the ones behind the vast majority of the shit we have to deal with. Still, that doesn’t mean that some janes and johns have no responsibility, social media and YT rely on user content and reward “engagement”
