I am asked every so often why my pages are not open for everyone or followers to post on. The answer is pretty simple. People can not be trusted! Yes that is a blanket statement, rumors printed have a way of becoming a gospel or perceived as truth compared to when you hear something at the bar or even grocery store.
C. Statutory Definition of Libel.
Civ. Code § 45 defines libel as “a false and unprivileged publication by writing, printing, picture, effigy, or other fixed representation to the eye, which exposes any person to hatred, contempt, ridicule, or obloquy, or which causes him to be shunned or avoided, or which has a tendency to injure him in his occupation.” See Savage v. Pacific Gas & Elec. Co. (1993)

Libel or defamation?! HAH!
People should be concerned what artificial intelligence, ai photography/image, and ai voice replication is about to do which I think will be far more damaging for people (both financially and legally) in the coming years! This isn’t theoretical anymore! People today are falling victims due to AI scams due to use of their name, voice, likenesses/looks, analytics and so on! People have lost their jobs because of AI impersonation too! Scammers can take a sample of your voice and make it say anything it wants, post it online and bye bye career! There are articles of security experts suggesting people to remove their personal voice greeting from their voicemail! But it doesn’t stop here!
As we read, companies are adopting this technology to replace A HUGE amount of white collar jobs! Writers, editors, call service centers, travel agents, photographers, analysts, and much more coming down the line! Within the next few years, the majority of people (including writers) will be out of a job! Teachers are become more and more irrelevant (unfortunately) and unless you have tenure, good luck out there!
Legislation isn’t even keeping up anymore with how fast the tech industry is changing.
Worried about libel and defamation?! Artificial intelligence says “hold my beer!”.
