"In 2020, as the South Korean authorities were pursuing a blackmail ring that forced young women to make sexually explicit videos for paying viewers, they found something else floating through the dark recesses of social media: pornographic images with other people’s faces crudely attached.

But that did not prevent a crime wave, using A.I. technology, that has now taken the country’s misogynistic online culture to new depths.

The birth rate has been dropping for decades and is frequently attributed to factors like the economic burden of child rearing, high housing costs, intense educational competition, and shifting priorities" (para 20-22).
