/ISG/ - Internet Spectacle General Anonymous 30-10-24 22:46:38 No.2005272 [View All]

Brace through the hyper-real lacanian void together!

They are not putting restrictions on AI videos or necessitating labeling them by law because they purposefully want to muddy the waters. Instead of claiming fake news they will just say it‘s AI and it will be technically possible since AI videos will be indistinguishable from real footage in the next few years.
