Girija Oak Godbole Addresses Morphed Images, Raises Concerns About AI Misuse
Marathi actress Girija Oak Godbole spoke out when manipulated pictures of her started circulating on the internet following her viral success. In an Instagram series in Hindi, English, and Marathi, Godbole called for more responsibility on the part of both consumers and content creators.
She acknowledged that her viral fame was a positive thing. She also revealed the dark side of fame. Many of my relatives and friends have sent me memes and posts. They are hilarious and creative in some cases, while others are AI-morphed pictures of me, which aren’t to my taste. “They sexualize me and objectify me and that makes me feel uncomfortable.” Girija Godbole said.
Godbole explained her knowledge of the dynamics of social media, noting how trending topics can often be used to create and circulate content. As long as engagement is present, she said that the cycle will continue. She added: “But I’m concerned that there are no boundaries or rules in this game — everything seems to be allowed.” This highlights the absence of boundaries and limits within the digital realm.
Girija Godbole’s main concern is that these images may have a long-term effect on her family and her son. I have a son who is 12 years old. “He doesn’t have a social media account yet but he eventually will.” He’ll come across the images when he gets older. These images may circulate now, but will stay on the web forever. She said, “These obscene pictures of his mom are something that he’ll see one day.” This is a common fear for parents who live in public.
Girija Godbole acknowledged that the public knows the pictures are fakes, but she condemned the intention behind the creation and consumption of the images. He’ll be aware that they are fakes — AI-generated, as well as anyone who has seen them knows. But they give the people cheap thrills, an artificial titillation. This isn’t very comforting. “I know that I cannot stop this, but I also don’t want to do nothing. Girija Oak Godbole hopes to spark a discussion about AI’s ethical implications and how viral content affects people.
