Jeffrey Hirsch, Starz president and
CEO: We'll continue to see major advancements in language. And so I think you'll have a world where it's content without borders, where [artificial intelligence] will allow platforms to allow consumers to watch the content in their native language. Subbing and dubbing will go away, but you'll be able to toggle or hit a button that says I want to watch it in French, I want to watch it in Spanish, I want to watch it in English. Content without borders becomes a real kind of standard in the industry in three years. (Of note: This was also Hirsch's answer three years ago.)

Come off it, @aclu.org Nothing is stopping anyone from creating even the asinine examples you post. You just can’t use AI to do it. Photoshop, not to mention every form of manual artistry still works just fine. No one’s rights have been impinged if you can’t digitally undress people.
"Minnesota's law is supposed to stop Al-generated nude images, but it's written so broadly that it could end up covering benign political memes too, like President Trump in a bikini or former President Obama in hotpants," John Coleman, legislative council for AI and free expression at the foundation, said in a statement. "That goes far beyond prohibiting unlawful content like child sexual abuse material, which is already illegal.
Instead, it sweeps in ordinary political speech and satire that Americans create and share online every day."
