    Lol. This clearly shows it's made by Samsung/Android manufacturer. They just don't understand why people use iOS. After scanning the code this happens: 1) Hey! Please copy this pag…

    Honestly this whole "responsible AI" thing is a sad last attempt to run away from the inevitable. The reality is that our politicians will end up in fake photos/videos/audio record…
