You can have 1000 of companies that act fair and don't use AI for malicious purposes, but there it that one company or community that doesn't... and then someone sends you gay porn with your face in it.
that sending you gay porn is the worst thing you can imagine out of this is more terrifying to me than the AI.
I find it quite funny, rather intruiging, that we seem to have gone full circle on trusted sources of information. Historically, a face-to-face meeting was considered as the ultimate legitimate and trustworthy way. Not story or rumors or witnessing, since the courts say people can be "decieved", "traumatised", etc. Then came microphones, cameras, CCTV in the 20th century, and then they became the ultimate trusted sou…
I would suggest that we shouldn't ever rely on digital archiving of important information. There should always be a copy of the information in analog, that can be dated & verified with analog methods.

Your comment reminds me of a silly little graph I saw posted to reddit once, basically stating that the prevalence of things like miracles and witchcraft was high throughout human history until the development of the camera, where it stayed low until the development of Photoshop.

I was thinking recently, isn't any usage of Strong AI is in fact the same as slavery and, hence, immoral?
How will we stop deepfakes?
OpenAI appears to only be thinking of the crimes-against-individuals segment of malicious AI, rather then the crimes-against-humanity type of malicious AI that the surveillance advertising corporations who are supporting OpenAI are building.
I am far, far less worried about an assassin's drones using AI to find a politician in a crowd than I am about Facebook using pictures of me that other people have posted and tagged me in, so that my face is used to track my movements, and the movements of every other human on the planet, everywhere we go, and selling that information to everybody who wants a copy, and giving it away at the request of the local police.
I'm more concerned about Google using AI to mine every conversation I've ever had or my browsing history to classify me as a dissident before I apply for a visa to travel to China or the United States, or as a deadbeat before I apply for a bank loan, or sick before I apply for insurance, or as unrehabilitatable before I apply for parole.
