AI Innovations may destroy the world.

Miloslav Číž, I'm getting your point, I think, but I have to question it a bit.

I don't appreciate censorship, but if I saw everything ever censored, I might agree with some of it. However, I don't understand how you compare software that makes remarkably realistic fiction (adjacent to satire, slander, libel, etc.), to free speech. Societies have many products that get banned because of their massive negative externalities of scale with small gains.

Also, this technology will cause a majority of people who are aware of it to not believe anything they see. That's a fertile environment for dictatorships and oligarchies to usurp power.

Somebody once discovered/made heroin and it was amazing! I believe the world would have been far better off if we didn't discover it, or banned it at the start.

(fuck! I just realized at the end here I was commenting with the wrong persona. The post/reshare account and this one commenting are the same people; aka: me.)

Banning deepfakes is the first step, as these can be abused. Banning surveillance-free computers that are able to produce deepfakes is the next step. Banning books about how to create such computers is the nest step. Banning writers that can produce such books is the next step. Banning writing itself is the next step as it can produce a remarkably realistic literary fiction, which can be abused for fake news. Banning painters is the next step they can produce remarkably realistic pictures, which can be abused by propaganda. Banning though itself is the next step as thinking can be abused.

Bans never work in the long run, and neither will any society governed by entities enforcing bans. The only thing that really works is when people themselves are educated and know heroin is bad and don't take it. That's the right way, and the way we're completely abandoning -- with any new restrictive law and with any new obedient citizen convinced of rightfulness of the law and government we're just pushing the society towards the level of a child that needs strict rules, punishments and restrictions in order to keep itself alive. However, a child that is never allowed to grow up and become an adult, bear its own responsibility, will not survive for long.
