AI... A new dawn, or the demise of humanity ?

@Madchatthew Yes, I think it’s already happened to Taylor Swift, and several other stars. Horrible.

[Madchatthew]

@phenomlab yeah that is horrible and people don’t deserve that to happen to them.

@Madchatthew I heard a rumour that this would be treated in the same manner as revenge porn - not sure if that is still the case.

@phenomlab Yes, I think it should be in that same category, even if it isn’t meant to be malicious. It is one thing is someone chooses to take their own photos/videos or have someone film or take pictures for them due to consent or wanting to do that for themselves for whatever reason and having that done to you without your knowledge or as in the article as revenge. I think people should be charged for doing that sort of thing.

They are in the UK. It’s a criminal offence and attracts a custodial sentence.

Wow this is suspicious AF. I mean, it is possible that he actually committed suicide, but I think the simple answer is most likely correct. Someone speaks up about a huge company that they are doing wrong and then person ends up committing suicide. Something fishy going on there me thinks.

Now this is cool and I wonder what other things that could be detected early on using this method?

WTF? I think this whole company needs to be shut down and all of the data and servers deleted. It just keeps happening with this company and I think they can just be done.

@Madchatthew finally something positive about the effective use of AI.

This lends itself perfectly to a movie plot! Reminds me of the Pelican Brief.
