| It's just a shame IMO that leaving out the word AI-generated (or deepfake) hurts the point that the article wants to make. This is an example of the negative effects of binary or black/white thinking, IMO (not sure what's the correct term in English) Parent comment did not want to downplay the seriousness, personal harm and moral+judicial implications of realistic fake porn, as I read it. The headline in question just weakens the public attention for actual rape porn depicting physical rape, or nonconsensually filmed sex for anybody reading the article, I'm afraid. Especially when celebrities come into play. It's true that both crimes can converge into something very similar, but these are still distinct crimes (maybe even happening in combination!?) which need to be examined thoroughly. Escalating language in headlines doesn't achieve its ostensive aim here, IMO. There have been discussions about deepfakes and their dangers, but not enough of them, especially when it comes to non-celebrity persons. I'm afraid escalating language won't help to catch more attention from people who previously underestimated the severity of current and potential dangers. |
