JK Rowling comments again and embarrasses itself, thanks to poorly made AI video.
The “Harry Potter” author and proud Terf (trans-exclusive: R radical feminist: in) JK Rowling causes a sensation again. The trigger is a contribution to X, in which Rowling criticized the “gender identity ideology” she titled.
Recommendations of the editorial team
The writer is known for her converted views and her adherence to the view that there is only the biological gender. They think of binarity, gender identities and transsexual people. In the past, the 60-year-old did not miss the opportunity to publicly express her attitude in this regard on social media. Finally, she caused a sensation with a short video that she shared to support an argument for gender and identity. However, the clip is so obviously ki-generated that the reactions are rather mocking than in agreement.
Transhober contribution with AI content
The six second video showed a tweet from Dr. Helen Webberley, a hormone doctor, transrocation activist and founder of Gender GP, an online family clinic who offer advice on sexual treatments. There, Webberley says in a sarcastic post that the rejection of transpersonen could be because of phallophobia. So she writes: “Did you notice that the only argument is that you have to be a man if you have a penis? I wonder if it is an absolute fear of penissen that drives you?”
JK Rowling reposted Webberley’s contribution embedded in a video that the author has generated by artificial intelligence. The clip shows the tweet followed by pictures that look like a comment area in social media – but do not contain any real words. Instead, they show gibberish, which consists of a combination of letters and confused, distorted signs. She writes about the video: “Explain to me again why the gender identity ideology is not homophobic. Would you be able to understand this British doctor, who was suspended by the Medical Association and now leads a quasi-medical transgender group called Gender GP, that he has an understanding of a young girl who is drawn to other girls?”
Mockery and criticism online
In terms of content, this is nothing new for the “Harry Potter” company: she has been posting content like this for years, most recently she openly celebrated the controversial Equal Opportunities Act in Great Britain. However, the use of artificial intelligence, which is still so obvious, is interpreted by numerous users: on the inside as a conscious distortion of content. The accusation: Rowling instrumentalize AI content to support trans-hostile messages. At the same time, the video delivers enough fabric to make fun of the author.
Some commenters mocked the mail by explaining Rowling’s statement with the effects of “Black Mold” – black mold – which was presented in an exaggerated form as the cause of their “hateful behavior”. “How much mold do I need to understand that?” Asked a user. Another person wanted to know: “Did the mold told you that this is real, or do you think that AI falsifications are real?” Most users: However, the author advised the author to seek professional help.
The reactions on the net are a long discussion about rowling attitude towards transsexuality. Since 2019, the writer has been providing questions about gender and identity for controversy with comments and tweets. Critics: Inside, she accused her of wanting to make trans and non-binary persons invisible. Again and again Rowling emphasizes that the biological gender is a real and immovable basis for them – a point of view that supporters: defend inside as “gender critical”, but basically passes far from the ravages of time.
