AI Misuse a 'Deep Moral Decline'

Referring to the "misuse" of AI to spread vulgar and harmful images targeting women, Rashmika wrote: "When truth can be manufactured, discernment becomes our greatest defense." She further stated, "AI is a force for progress, but its misuse to create vulgarity and target women signals a deep moral decline in certain people.

Choose responsibility over recklessness. If people cannot act like humans, then strict & unforgiving punishment must be served to them."
