There's no way that the western world can fix these issues at the same time. They can barely keep themselves from infighting, let alone solving these issues that concern the world at large. Obviously this is me making large assumptions about certain things, but it guided by my point of view that the senile class of corrupt politician that runs the majority of Western Civilization will not work on on things they deem as unimportant. Taylor Swift being able to use her platform to catapult this very serious issue to the forefront of national attention is amazing, and I want to see this through... But not at the expense of countless lives lost because society is crumbling away.
I suppose too that I have a lot of predisposed opinions about the AI discussion at large that cloud this story of any real importance to me. AI, in general, is an excellent tool that can be used to increase productivity, if used responsibly. I'm working on a solo video game project right now, using AI to help me solve logical problems and help creatively kick off some ideas when I struggle to find the right inspiration, and its a fantastic tool. A lot of people tend to dismiss it as a tool that's exclusively used to rip of talented creators and destroy the integrity of the people that do use it in legitimate ways, like myself.
I'm not blind to the fact that this particular usage of AI is capable of doing real damage to every woman, not just Taylor. But it's a double edged sword to me; now that we have a widespread story centering on Taylor's experience, it's gonna get worse way before it get better now.
