That's perfect. It should be legal. Making pornography of someone illegal is just a different scale of grey from say...making drawing muhammad illegal, etc.

I can already hire an artist to make me some porn of ...I dunno...Obama or something. Why should that be illegal just because someone does it with AI instead?

but then they wouldn't have consented to the creation of porn of themselves. which if it is a deepfake, it is literally non consensual porn.

Hate to break it to you, this is already legal. "Non Consensual Porn" only applies to photographs. Nobody should have to consent to everything like that.

If I draw you standing under the eiffel tower, fully clothed - the legality shouldn't change just because you don't LIKE what's being drawn.

I'm aware it's already legal, hence why action should be taken. plus videos are just a bunch of photos stitched together so I don't see your point of it only applying to photos.

Because it being nude/etc is the only thing that is different from people just simply drawing others in art.

Just because you don't like pornography, shouldn't change the legality of it. It's prudism and puritanism at its finest.

it's not porn in general that should be illegal. ONLY pornography where the person has not explicitly said they would like to be in it. such as deepfake porn, or drawn where the person has also not said they would like to be in it.

If I draw a nude stick figure with two perfect circle tits and say its Taylor Swift, would I have broken the law?
