I’m a bit conflicted about posting a link to this nooze story, because the images are grossly offensive. I think I’ll just ask you to take my word for it.
The White House is–shall we say “upset”?–about AI-generated pictures of Taylor Swift. From spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre we have this:
“While social media companies make their own independent decisions about content managing–”
The Lie Buzzer goes off. Loudly.
What? You mean this administration has not leaned on social media companies to impose censorship wherever and whenever the White House wants it? Tell us another one!
Even Taylor Swift, even a Far Left-friendly celebrity, has a right not to be publicly depicted as doing something which she has not, in fact, done. “Artificial Intelligence” is getting way out of hand–and it’s only just started. How are we supposed to tell, anymore, what’s real and what’s not? Where is our commitment to the truth?
Let’s not lose that, shall we? It is, after all, a Commandment: thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor (No. 9 in the Ten Commandments, Exodus 20:16).
P.S.–Some 20 years ago, my friend Dr. Sahai saw a supposed TV commercial depicting Shaquille O’Neal interacting with Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason, in The Honeymooners). It was, of course, fake. But he was passionate about it. “What if somebody makes a film of Sahai robbing a bank??? What do I tell the jury?” Hit the nail right on the head, he did.
