The creation of sexually explicit deepfake content is likely to become a criminal offense in England and Wales as concern grows over the use of artificial intelligence to exploit and harass women.
I have a hard time accepting this as a crime. What if the illustration hand-drawn, or clothed but still sexual in character? Is caricature illegal, by this standard?
So if I use AI to make pornography of 50 men gang banging you, you will consider that to be on the same level as going to a carnival and getting a characture done?
Huh, you must have replied somewhat late to this - I’m sure I checked back here for any replies before I returned to my main instance for good.
Actually, yes. If you sent it to me, that would be sexual harassment (just like if you sent me an unsolicited text description of what you want to do to me), but I don’t care what you do in private.

No.
The official government announcement is linked in the article btw.
You’d better not have a particularly vivid imagination or else you’ll be prosecuted for daydreaming.
There’s a big difference between a deep fake and a caricature.

It’s making an image of someone that portrays them in an unrealistic and offensive context.

So if I send it to people who aren’t you… it’s okay?
Ooohh, can’t wait to see us waste billions of dollars deliberating what is acceptable just like with copyright law.
This is another law that only exists to protect rich people. Poor people can’t afford a lawyer and don’t have time to show up in court.
