This is a ridiculous & unconstitutional policy, all of this was possible before AI. The state will manufacture outrage wildly out of proportion to any real & present danger in order to destroy 1st Amendment protections. Deep fakes, like all parody, are free speech: full stop. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/17/technology/california-deepfakes-law-social-media-newsom.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Lk4.sJNI.9vkLVQbMbc8w&smid=url-share

Don't you think there are levels to this though? Grouping deep fakes with parody is a bit dishonest in this case imo. Parody is supposed to make you laugh and often exist within a context (an identified parody account, a parody TV show, etc...). A Deepfake is used by legitimate accounts to manipulate people. Clearly not the same stakes here. The degree is different too. Photography was a major revolution in the realm of portraying Vs painting. Deepfake is of the same nature in the realm of creating "fake" content. Parody requires wearing costumes, imitating voices etc...Deepfake is way beyond that.

All CGI is fake. All artistic expression is "fake." Would you have banned H.G. Well's War of the Worlds being read on the radio just because some may think it's real? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds_(1938_radio_drama)

I don't recall War Of World being presented by HG Wells as facts, or being introduced on the evening news though, was it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yes, all creation is fake/imitation, but I don't believe the intent of this law is to ban every creation? So contexts and intents are important and will without a doubt be considered in court, as it always is.

We cannot assume how the law will be used against us. I'm all for open-source labeling of deep fake content, I'm not for penalizing and burdening citizens for expressing their right to create CGI content.
