I completely agree. This is going to free kids from someone taking a picture of them doing something relatively harmless and extorting them. "That was AI, I wasn't even at that party 🤷"

I can't wait for childhood and teenage life to being a bit more free and a bit less constantly recorded.

yeah, every time you go to a party, and fun happens, somebody pulls out their smartphone and starts filming. it's really bad. people can only relax when there's privacy, and smartphones have stolen privacy from society for over 10 years now. we need to either ban filming in general (which is not doable) or discredit photographs - which we're doing right now.
