You mentioned regulating right after scraping so I thought it pertained to that.
Also when I say expensive, I mean prohibitively so in a way that creates a soft monopoly. And when you couple that with the very real possibility that AI replaces most desk work in the coming decades, its bleak.
That being said, I totally agree deepfakes and all that need to be regulated but only on the platforms distributing it imo. Most seem to want to regulate how the technology itself works, gimping it and forcing filters on the user. All of which can really only be done by stopping users from running it locally.
I think anything other than the lightest touch would be disastrous for both us and the product.
I'm curious where you would start. I have some thoughts but mainly only a strict opt out policy for individuals.
