But even on personal level when you’re just an average person , it can irreparably ruin a life ::
A recent story that’s gone wide :
Young ( early 20s ? ) girl on her Insta account has only ever posted herself doing everyday things ,
: baking a cake , photos about her dog , etc ; mundane .
Attractive , beautiful young girl : has Never posted any risqué content , always fully clothed ,
not flirting , not fishing ;
she’s not an OF kind of girl , just a regular , straight well-brought-up kid .
Whoever or not ; for whatever reason or not : had posted a plethora of porn with her likeness .
She has Never done anything to warrant undue attention , never sought ‘fame’ , just an
everyday innocent girl who all of a sudden found herself the center of huge scandal and
controversy , ‘her’ X-rated images and porn content disseminated , mailed to Friends List etc.
Her life ruined , had to drop out of school , change towns , lost her friends , and family respect .
She was in tears , sobbing , asking “Why they’d Do that !?” , “what am I to Do !?”
If your likeness is present Anywhere on the World Wide Web :: can happen to you .
In this case it was a horrendous senseless exercise :: the next person may be sent the
DeepFake material and be blackmailed - unless you pay X amount , it goes viral .
Can you imagine Your life falling apart ?
Your job , your kids’ school , your neighbors ; all in your Contact List and Friends groups .
I think we lost the run of ourselves with DeepFakes , with AI … old rules no longer apply .
The things you Knew are no longer .
