A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create an AI-generated pornographic image of anyone in the world for as little as $10 if users send them pictures of that person. Like many other Telegram communities and users producing nonconsensual AI-generated sexual images, this user creates fake nude images of celebrities, including images of minors in swimsuits, but is particularly notable because it plainly and openly shows one of the most severe harms of generative AI tools: easily creating nonconsensual pornography of ordinary people.
I wouldn’t put actual non-consensual pornography and fake pornography of any kind in the same bag but, geez, I’m not a Dr.
Deep fakes do improve on the (technical) realism over 90s photoshop for sure. Doesn’t that still qualify as slander? (Also not a lawyer.)
The question is why, with an internet full of porn, do men want non consensual pornography that they know women are opposed to. It’s as if the hurtfulness, the lack of consent and the control over the woman in the video are actually the point.
Non-consensual pornography is called rape and it’s a crime in most of the world.
