Plötzlich sind alle Feminist*innen. Bloß kann von echter Gleichberechtigung keine Rede sein. Warum wirken überholte Strukturen fort? Zur Antwort betrachtet Ann-Kristin Tlusty wie durch ein Brennglas die Zwänge, die das Leben von Frauen auch heute prägen: Noch immer wird ihnen abverlangt, sanft die Sorgen und Bedürfnisse der Gesellschaft aufzufangen. Jederzeit sollen sie dabei auf süße Weise sexuell verfügbar erscheinen, gern auch unter feministischem Vorzeichen. Und bei alldem angenehm zart niemals zu viel Mündigkeit beanspruchen.

Dank neuester Entwicklungen im Bereich der KI sind hochentwickelte maschinelle Systeme durch das Scannen und Verändern bestehenden Fotomaterials in der Lage, Fotos oder Videos zu generieren und sie mit einem Kontext auszustatten, den es nie gegeben hat. Wird darauf zudem eine authentisch wirkende Tonspur gelegt, sind die Resultate absolut überzeugend - und verheerend in ihrer Wirkung. Diese so genannten "Deep Fakes" sind eine reale Gefahr für Demokratien, denn sie haben die Macht, Wahlmanipulation auf ein ganz neues Level zu heben und die Entscheidungen nichtsahnender Bürger massiv und grundlegend zu beeinflussen.
