HOST TALK: When AI Crosses the Line


Listen Later

This isn’t just another episode- this is a wake-up call. 

In our most passionate Host Talk yet, we confront a disturbing trend that’s gone viral: AI deepfakes of women impersonating individuals with Down syndrome—using that image to post suggestive, scandalous content. 

Let that sink in. 

This isn’t advocacy. This isn’t funny. And this absolutely isn’t okay. 

In this raw, real conversation, we dive into: 

  • What’s actually happening—and why it’s so dangerous 
    • The exhausting fight to get this content taken down, and why it lives in a legal gray area 
      • The deeper issue: when we let this slide, we send the message that mocking disability is entertainment 
        • What The Take It Down Act could mean for situations like this 
          • Why we need your voice now more than ever 
          • We need this in front of the right people. 

            We need a louder voice to help us fight back. 
            And we need more creators like Joey Swoll to address this issue. 

            This episode is a call to action. If you care about inclusion, respect, and protecting the dignity of people with Down syndrome—this is your moment to stand with us. Tune in now and help us make a real change.
