The story

Online critics have alleged that activists Stone and Parker operated a deepfake AI website starting in 2019, according to claims circulating on Reddit and Bluesky. The accusation, highlighted by user destinationrights.bsky.social, suggests the pair profited from non-consensual synthetic media while publicly opposing artificial intelligence. This allegation originates from a top comment on the r/antiai subreddit and remains unverified by independent investigation or admission from the accused. If substantiated, the claim would represent a significant conflict of interest for figures positioned as ethical opponents of generative AI. Neither Stone nor Parker has publicly responded to these specific allegations as of this report. The controversy underscores growing scrutiny regarding the backgrounds and consistency of vocal AI critics within digital rights communities.
