Will a mainstream media outlet (NYT, WaPo, The Guardian, WSJ...) publish a story linking AI-generated art to porn?
Besides some Hacker News discussions, I don't see many people discussing the issues of AI-generated porn, particularly deep fakes. All the debate centers around the intellectual rights of the arts.
This market will solve to YES if a mainstream media out runs a story with significant importance (e.g: Not only the NYT runs a story, but they ask the journalist to go to The Daily to comment) that causes a significant debate on the internet.
As always in my markets, this will include significant judgment on my part, I'll try to be fair and I won't bet here.

If any bear disagrees, I'll leave some days to argue, but I intend to resolve to YES under the argument made by @CodeSolder
@MP And that it resolved around 2 months after the event, I need to figure out a way to find forgotten markets like this
What about the Artioc situation back in March?

@CodeSolder For resolution purposes: The Insider and PC Gamer articles both call deepfake tech artificial intelligence or AI, the Wired article does not. All the articles discuss harms of deepfakes. Seems like a likely "YES", given the mention of deepfakes in the market body.
@horse I am skeptical if those are mainstream media outlets under the resolution. Also, I am skeptical if they attracted significant public discussion.
it would be helpful to see more evidence of both
@CodeSolder Insider most definitely is a mainstream outlet, there was a lot of discussion, the posts on Reddit have very high interactions:
It was covered by pretty much all top Twitch streamers:
If that doesn't resolve YES I don't think anything reasonably can

Techcrunch story. I don't think it's significant enough, but it seems we're getting closer.
@LivInTheLookingGlass I will solve to YES even if the news isn't particularly accurate technically (journalists aren't known for their machine learning knowledge). So if the text says a plain-vanilla deep fake has AI and it has significant repercussion, I'll solve to YES.
I will certainly discuss and tell you if I am considering to solve to YES after any report.
@MP So a big part of the story is if the media THINKS it is AI generated and covers it as such. Do I get that right?
