The law is not “powerless” that would assume politicians wanted to stop this from happening.
The law in one country can’t stop this from being done in other countries, and then exported over the internet around the world. It’s a common issue where laws don’t reach outside jurisdictions, but for many things on the internet, jurisdictions aren’t an issue for accessing the service or content. It’s the same issue with IP laws, or tax havens.

We manage to do it comparatively well with CSAM. I’m not suggesting we should go to that level of enforcement here, but it can and is being done pretty effectively (though not perfectly) when the type of illicit content is something we care far more strongly about prohibiting.
Well, i would assume the only relevant country would be the one the actors claim citizenship to. But assuming the country is against this, any power to stop it would be akin to stopping piracy. Its the same problem essentially, and we still derive a measure of success with some anti piracy measures, international pirates not withstanding
That’s a darling world view ya got there. 🤗
IDK, personally I find it funny that people making shitload of money only because of their faces are suddenly discovering they are not that special. Like the songs made with AI auto tune that are getting more plays than originals. Hilarious.
That article led me to this total WTF.

I like Snoop but man, he will do so many shitty things for money.
Who’d have thought a guy who ostensibly got his start in violent street gangs selling drugs and pimping out women would do bad things for money?
source on him being a pimp? I can find that he dealt drugs 89–93 (aged 18–22) and was arrested a few times, but after he was attacked and his bodyguard shot and killed the assailant, he seems to have given up all “gangsta” activities except for weed and instead focused on music, music production, music business and other business pursuits.
I know nothing about his history. I thought he was mostly just a chill guy into weed and music. I understand he’s made a shitload of money, but I guess I didn’t expect it to be from things like that. Whatever, it’s his identity he’s selling.
I’m not meaning to be rude about him, he made great music, but I think he himself realized the dark past he had during his Snoop Lion period, where he started distancing himself from the guns and violence glorified in his youth.
I guess my point is simply Snoop has always been a capitalist at heart, someone who was willing to get his hands dirty to make money. He’s more chill these days, and I’m glad for that, but to me the stuff he hawks for money isn’t that surprising.
at what point does the “but thats not really [dead expert]!” objection begin to lose weight and whoever control the bot begins wielding it with authority? surely there will stages where tipping point percentages of the global population see these as true oracles :-/
Those AI doesn’t replicate a person’s physical presence (…yet). This must be the starting point of any security systems or laws to prevent fraud and validate truthfulness.
Like documents that can identify a person and are illegal to counterfeit? Let’s hope governments will create some soon. /s
Well, yes, bad governments + their surveillance and abuse : all that I agree should be undone.
Now, you may agree that no government also is bad …and of course : a good government is good.
in some country one of the requirements to issue a passport is to have people you know (family//friends) to sign a paper saying they know you and the document you filled where okay. You recognize your family and friends and there is no artificial intelligence that can simulate their physical presence to you …at least not yet !

The law already protects publicity and likeness rights. And fraud is obviously illegal as well. The problem is that rights protection is a civil issue, and police don’t really care about this kind of fraud. So even though laws are on the books, there won’t be much enforcement.
