People have been creating and posting realistic looking fake celebrity nudes for quite literally decades now, but now they’re using AI and its suddenly a problem?
I’m not sure if you noticed, but people who write for a living have suddenly started writing quite a lot about how technology that can write and generate media are bad.
Which is so silly, because AI writing still needs a human editor. I write for a living and there tons of work that involves using AI as a tool to increase productivity rather than to replace writers completely… like photoshop didnt put photographers out of business it just changed the work flow.
I work in a clinical setting where some Doctors are trying an AI program for generating their clinical notes out of the casual conversation between them and the patient. It’s way off its mark for what we demand in quality. It requires significant editing from the healthcare provider, and if the note is very robust it quickly becomes more of a chore than modern voice transcription. Our review is not great so far.
That’s a terrible way to be using a LLM for generating clinical notes.
Sounds more like trying to use a screwdriver to hammer in screws than an issue with the screwdriver itself.
Right. It seemed like a reach when I first heard of it, but that’s how it’s advertised and the Hospital was sold on at least trying it out.
I don’t think many have gone viral on social media before or took less than 5 minutes to create. My uneducated guess is that previously this stuff would be in some niche forum in the recesses of the internet

Not really. Back at the time there were public usenet groups specifically dedicated to the [hot actress of the day] fake porn.
You could be honest and acknowledge that there is a massive difference in time investment and skill required between the old way of creating fake porn of unconsenting people and the new way.
It’s now massively accessible and realistic. Yes, it’s a problem.
Damn look at that, been accessible for decades
The tools are accessible. I wish this place wasn’t full of weirdo ai tech bros sometimes.
Here’s a censored version of one of the images in question taken from another news article.
Hahaha, that’s glorious!
I was a part of a Blursed AI group on Facebook that had been a lot of fun, but suddenly this week it first shifted to Taylor Swift porn, and then to alt-right MAGA shit very quickly. The comments on the Trump and MAGA related images were very on-board with it too. The change was so abrupt that I got the fuck out of there. Seemed orchestrated.
Platforms, including X, where the images were first shared
They also now have a dedicated platform at their disposal. Expect more trash to be posted first on X in the future.
Like back at the time they had Usenet groups, rotten.com and a long list of other sites to post fake porn and other discutible content.
Not that I am saying that is something right, just that is nothing new.
She probably has the money to sue each and every poster into oblivion.
For what? She’s a public figure who does photo shoots. That’s fair game buddy.
The fuck is wrong with you?
I didn’t say it’s moral or good or just – but it’s not illegal. My usage of fair game is in reference to fair use which is allowed under copyright law.
Try not eating the crayons.
If you meant a different term with a different meaning then you should use that term and even in that case I doubt that the fair use clause would stand as a defense.
I mean – no one has taken it to court so you can’t say one way or another. Is it fair use if I put a cover of a magazine into stable diffusion and have it change the background? If I put michelle obama on mars did i just break the law? [no] This is a legal rats nest.
The grover one was hilarious… Jus sayin
Is it a problem though? I mean, it just makes Rule34 pics that much easier to create. And you wouldn’t want to kink-shame anyone, now, would you? Why is it always heterosexual men who are kink-shamed? Why is liking naked women a bad thing?
Alright, I’ll bite. To start, this is a real person that we are talking about. A real person who did not consent. Does that mean anything to you? The fact that there is a very real person that exists in very real life that has had this happen to them?
Otherwise, I agree. Nothing wrong with the male libido.
I don’t need someone’s consent to draw lewd fanart of them.
I wouldn’t be so sure. Depending on where you are in the world, there dozens of laws that might interfere. Ranging from publicity rights to slander, especially if the images are photorealistic (enough).
Do you need their permission to distribute that art?
100%, which is why the fault lies with the bad actors and the platforms that let this proliferate and not the tool itself.
Can you imagine this headline but with Photoshop instead of AI? It would be utterly silly.
This is orchestrated to create anger against AI. There’s a lot of money involved in it and that money triples if consumers aren’t allowed to run and distribute models on their own PC.
I can agree with you on principal. Just as long as you aren’t distributing things like this I don’t really see an issue. Not the tool, the distributor / platform. I also agree that these articles are meant to ensure that those technology can be held behind locked doors. I fully support the idea of making AI something that is self-hostable.
That being said there are people in this thread that see nothing wrong with distributing lewd pictures of real people (drawn, ai generated, or even hacked and stolen). That is the only thing that I was addressing.
Ya I agree, there’s a very ugly side of things and It’s a shame certain people are rolling themselves in it.
There’s also the fact that lewds of celebs and similar material will grow exponentially but the same is also true for all other media so hopefully it balances itself out.
I think that’s the main problem with a lot of these articles, they are missing the forest for the trees so to speak. We are looking at an explosion of culture, the bad stuff is just along for the ride. I’m personally excited for it.
So, this line of thought is not going to get AI fakes permitted, it’s going to get rule 34 banned.
We’ve been censoring sex shit for a long ass time, in case you haven’t noticed. The recent trend of information freedom is not going to defeat that old religious puritanical bs, and people’s wishes for privacy on top of it.
Trump would shut that shit down fast. Conservatives want people reproducing, not masturbating, and he has christian supporters to keep in line, who do not like porn.
