so much he wouldn't do it. And the extension from that is that people who don't like to eat as much are going to be able to control their weight. Now I'm a perfect example. I am currently actually, I overshot my mark. I'm actually below the weight I would like to be at the moment. I could probably add two pounds. But I got there effortlessly by just not eating bread for a while. That's it. I just…
← Previous segment →happen but I'm going to give you the most optimistic take. So over in Spain there are dozens of girls reporting in school that people had generated AI-based nudes of them. So they were fake but they were AI-made so they looked, probably they took a photograph of the real face and then added the nakedness to it. So of course it's a huge psychological traumatic experience as you imagine it would be. But by the end of this year every girl in high school will have an unauthorized AI nude of them because their friends will be happy to do it. All they need is to take an app and take a photo and drag it in and push a button and you've got a nude picture of your classmate. Of course everybody's going to do it. Of course they will. There's nothing that can stop it. And it wouldn't even be illegal to do it privately for your own purposes. I don't even know if it's illegal to pass it around but I bet you could find a law that it violates. If it's not the actual person then it wouldn't have the same criminal problems as a picture of the actual person, but it would be abusive. So if there's blackmail involved I guess sometimes there's blackmail involved, so there would be lots of crimes that they could hit without it being an actual picture of the person I guess. Yeah, there's nothing that can stop it.
But here, do you want to hear the positive thing? Here's the positive part of that. In theory as the fakes get better and better, two things are going to happen. Number one, you will get bored by it. Imagine the first time you see an AI picture of one of your classmates and you're 14 years old. You're 14 years old, you're like, oh this is the greatest thing. I'm going to send it to all my friends. And then they say what app did you use? And they're like, oh we've got to make some more of these. I've got somebody else I want to do this to. So you do a few more of your friends and you know it's trauma and it's psychological damage. It's terrible. And then a few more people do it because it's easy and a few more people do it because the other ones didn't get caught. And pretty so

on you will literally be bored when you see another AI nude picture of your classmate. It's just going to be like another meme. It will just be a meme and you'll just be, boop. Now you might say to yourself, oh this one's really funny, and you might send it around, but nobody's going to believe it's real. You see where I'm going? Pretty soon and very soon even the real pictures of you nude will b…
