Instead of laws keeping up It also might turn out to be a case where culture keeps up.

If kids want to be protected they need to get some better lobbyists. /s

Maybe let's assume all digital images are fake and go back to painting. Wait... what if children start painting deepfakes ?

The only defense is to train AI to draw guys with micropenises. As long as kids being kids is a defense for this shit (and to be fair, kids are pretty fucking stupid and need the freedom to grow out of that) rule makers have no power here. At least insofar as the AI to do this can be run locally on a potato.

The laws to ban "AI", you mean?

Deepfakes might end up being the modern version of a bikini. In the olden days, people wore these to the beach. Having less was scandalous and moral decay. Yet, now we wear much less.

Our grandchildren might simply not give a damn about their nudity, because it is assumed that everyone is deepfaking everyone.
