I didn't want to make a new thread as what on earth would I put in the OP, but this is gross and it kind of fits in a thread thats moved onto if feminism is needed today in this country.

I shared this in a group chat a week or so ago and thought there was a silver-lining to this. I was worried about computers becoming too smart, i.e. they could identify us by our faces which means people can pull up all our pictures with our faces in it... Kinda glad they can make good fakes too now which means in a way is an unintended privacy mask since computer/camera footage won't be 100% trustworthy, especially if AI image/video reproduction becomes a common thing.

On the other hand, people can maybe now take our faces and create on the fly personal porn if they want and create "remakes" etc. Those NFL graphics were a bit uncanny for me during the Superbowl yesterday in terms of what they are able to generate overlays/reproductions of simple camera footage now. It's awe-inspiring, but it's obviously a double-edged sword.
