 You are correct; the majority of Swifties hadn't even seen it before Taylor tweeted about how she was going to take legal action. 

I mean, who knows, maybe she starts pushing for some kind of regulation around it. I personally feel a little uncomfortable when it comes to regulation, but I think girls are in a better position to talk about this issue than I am.

 I think your opinion is valid girl guy if your image is used with ai to create explicit content its a dangerous isseu especially considering blackmail. 
That being said i have no clue how one whould go about combating it.
In my mind that whould be as effective as taking down piratebay

 Regulating it is going to be very difficult, especially because all the models capable of doing it are already open-sourced. However, perhaps they can regulate the sharing it online or use of explicit content for malicious purposes. 

We are likely to see extensive discussions around this topic this year, especially as we begin having AI-generated videos. What can one trust after that? It will be used for propaganda, state actors. It's going to be very interesting.

 Almost all deepfake videos are porn. I think this kills the porn industry, to be honest.

 Can't they use AI to filter this stuff out? Women could simply ask to have pictures with their likeness flagged.

 DCMA takedowns, but with AI! 

Lawyers send kisses.

(AI just isn't that accurate, this would lead to rampant trolling, and the preventative disappearance of images of women from the internet by platforms unable to afford a legal department)

 Yeah, I guess. Like kiddie porn, now.

On the other hand, she won't want to star in the sex scene some nutjob has decided to robo-post under every note she writes.

 I haven't found any good solutions, unfortunately.

(I have several bad and ineffective ones that could win elections, though)

 Pay per view wood chipper. Same with pedos.

 That's true. No point wasting perfectly good compost.

 Pay per SWATing will go up, too.

I need to stop thinking of this as a social problem and more as a business opportunity

 It’s both. Give the proceeds to the victims of the perpetrators.

 Would improve endpoint security, for sure! 

(After we hang all the smart toasters and their dimwit owners.)

Probably won't stop the autistic trolls, though. Most of this stuff is cross-border already.

 Step 1: scan people's homes for exploitable IoT devices

Step 2: contact their exes, rivals, colleagues and neighbours to see who's willing to pay for a SWATing. Accept monero only!

Step 3: use IoT garbage as a proxy server to repost something vile where it will be reported.

Step 4: convert monero to BTC and drink margaritas on the beach in El Salvador

 Well, that's the next thing, right? Follow her around the internet with your bots posting deepfakes.
