I'm not saying deepfakes should not be regulated.

I'm saying the examples are poor because scamming people is already illegal.

So you aren't actually syaing anything at all. You're just being contrarian for the sake of it.

Not exactly. Arguments like "they should be regulated because they can be used for illegal stuff" are moot, since those usages are already regulated. I'm on the fence on the whole regulation thing and I've yet to see any actual realistic examples on how regulation would look.

Is it even logical to regulate ai images specifically, or should we lump it in together with any form of image manipulation?
