Passing AI Images Off As Oneself In Media pages

Quote by Dani

I didn't say the conversation was "held decades ago." I said that this has been an ongoing conversation for decades. You approached this subject as if you, yourself were the originator of this "ongoing" discussion. It's been going on for quite a while. It has yet to progress beyond the desire for us to violate others' privacy in the name of making sure someone doesn't lust and/or develop feelings for someone who isn't who they say they are. I look forward to the day it does, but judging from the way you've conducted yourself in this conversation thus far, today is not that day.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say, "judging from the way you've conducted this conversation thus far, today is not that day."

Well I’m happy to clarify!

I stated in my earlier comment that this conversation hasn’t progressed beyond wanting the site to compromise its members’ privacy in a bid to mitigate folks’ personal responsibility to be savvy enough not get duped by internet strangers. Your comments thus far have been in alignment with the site assuming that responsibility, which compromises said privacy.

You also spoke to us needing to be “more proactive,” and we highlighted that we are indeed proactive in this regard, which was more or less disregarded by you.

Overall it seems like you’re not interested in a solution outside of us being more overreaching than folks generally have a right for us to be.

While I understand that you may mean well, this doesn’t appear to be as good faith of a conversation as you’ve presented.

Does anyone think that my profile person is really me? Or even a real person? It seems obviously AI to me.

I mean, I am an old white guy with gray hair and glasses, but that picture doesn’t look like the real me. Like, at all.

You do realize that I haven't responded to this thread in over a month, don't you?

I have no interest in having this turn into any kind of flame-fest. If you're offended, I apologize. If you go back, you'll see that my original goal is to introduce a discussion that I didn't see on the forum. If you say it was ongoing, it wasn't lately. I felt it would be helpful to have it as an active and friendly discussion and so far it's been. I suggest we keep it that way.

I'm talking about a more extensive misrepresentation. It's out there. I'm not a raccoon either. 😉

Why is the time since your last response relevant? Especially since you’ve been actively responding to me today? You said you wanted an ongoing conversation, well here we are. And I’m not offended, as it takes quite a bit to upset my sensibilities.

You seem to be conflating “active and friendly conversation” with “echo chamber.”

I’ll do you a favor and disregard your incredibly condescending “I suggest we keep it that way.” If I desire such suggestions moving forward, I’ll ask for them directly.

Cheers.

Contrary to what you claim, you seem quite upset.
I don't know how I can be "conducting this thread," if I haven't participated in it in a month.
I'm not going to engage. This thread has been moving along exactly the way I'd hoped, with some good back-and-forth discussion. I'd hate to see it derailed, especially by a mod with an attitude.

Goodbye.

LMAOOOOO. “Mod with an attitude.” I like it.

I’m not upset. I’m just like this. You derailed your own thread with your feelings about my perspective.

Anyways goodbye. I’m so sorry that my opposing viewpoints disrupted this “ongoing conversation” you started…and now seem adamant about ending. LOL.

I'm not a mod and never will be, but if you ever get any T-shirts with 'mod with attitude' on them made, I think I'd buy one! High praise indeed. Keep on modding, keep on 'attituding'...I might have made that word up! ❤️

You can try to reframe reality all you want, but it doesn't change what you're really doing here.

It wasn't your "viewpoint," it was your personal attack. You took a frank and open discussion and made it personal.

And yes, you are upset, you can deny it all you want, but coming in all Rambo then saying "I'm just like this" is, and always has been a complete cop out for owning your own shit... and you have lots of it.

I'm not at all interested in ending this conversation. I'm just done wasting time with you.

You can go ahead and reframe how you just came to make a contribution, but it's clearly evident what you're doing. Talking shit and blaming others.

Shit talking is my default setting. But who have I blamed? Where have I placed responsibility where it didn’t belong?

It seems to mean a lot to you to believe that I’m attacking you simply because I’ve very directly expressed my belief regarding your intentions and disagreed with your perspective. In fact, the only time our conversations have veered off course is when you’ve interjected how offended you are that I had the audacity to tell you what I think.

In that regard, you’ve assigned me emotions that don’t belong to me, and have made multiple attempts now to discredit my perspective. However, in all of your indignation, you have yet to tell me I’m wrong. You have yet to deny that your desire in broaching this subject was to get others to agree that you want us to encroach on others’ privacy to assume responsibility and prevent folks’ naïveté in being fooled by internet pretenders.

That’s because you can’t. That’s why all of your responses to me have defaulted to “You’re a meanie face who’s here to say mean things and I’m not gonna talk to you no more.” It’s also why you’re trying to convince me that I’m the one that’s upset, because you have no other means of invalidating my perspective so you’re grasping at straws. By the way, even if I was/am upset or otherwise having an emotional response, it still wouldn’t somehow magically make me wrong.

I assure you there’s nothing you can tell me about me that I don’t know, unless it’s inaccurate. I know I’m abrasive in my directness, and I’ve always owned that about myself. That doesn’t mean you get to decide who engages with you in this space, or how they engage. That’s not how “ongoing conversations” in public forums work, sweet pea.

You never know. They’ve kept me as a mod all these years, so the standards can’t be too high. 😉

Regarding the rest, you really shouldn’t encourage me like this. I cause enough trouble as-is, but I appreciate the kind words nonetheless.♥️

Wow! And, you're a mod? Stirring shit like this on what was a pretty decent thread until you decided to blow it up?

And, you do this all the time? And you're proud of it?

I hope the thread survives, as it was really intended as something that would promote a healthy discourse until the child arrived. If it doesn't, that's too bad. I hope the admins will take a close look at what and who ended what was intended to be a helpful and discerning conversation.

Just as I thought. More meandering nonsense and no denial of my assessment of your intentions. Yawn.

And to answer your question, I’m quite proud of and content with who I am and how I conduct myself, for better AND for worse.

Quote by Racoonteur

So I've seen this happening on a regular basis here and elsewhere.

I have never hid the fact that pictures of me are AI rendered.

I don't need real photos of me and my body mods being used by some scammer.

Plus I make it clear I don't ask for pictures, nor do I want them.

Sad that an atmosphere has been created that makes you feel such statements are necessary.

It is sad indeed.
My whole point was that there are those who do pass AI and "borrowed" pics as themselves and there are people who believe them.
A good healthy discussion on the matter may be helpful to those who aren't watching as closely and could prevent some real problems for them down the line. Right?

The fact that those who use AI and identify it as such are indeed thoughtful. No one says they have to do that.

Absolutely true. I still have the picture you sent me of your pink crenulated castle gate.
