Subd. 3. Exemption. The prohibitions in subdivision 2 do not apply when the website, application, software, program, or other service requires the technical skill of a user to nudify an image or video.
I get the idea, but this doesn’t comfort me, because what is “technical skill” here? That seems subjective and will ultimately be up to a court to decide. What constitutes a skill? It’s prompting a skill? Is prompting Photoshop’s AI a skill? Their lasso tool is pretty easy to use. The line isn’t clear, and a clever lawyer, or a judge, or a jury could come down differently on what counts and what doesn’t.
I get the goal here. But I think we were already covered by the existing law that made distribution of these artificial nudes illegal.
Ehh, it seems pretty targeted to me, it’s defined to only apply to automatic apps or services, e.g. it specifically exempts manually created images.
Bans X from allowing grok to make naked pictures of celebrities but doesn’t apply to people using photoshop to do the same.
