I grew up in the era of Photoshop and people would post fake nudes. Why is it now a big deal that AI is doing it? Kinda like the Taylor Swift thing on twitter.
If AI is so convincing, why would anyone care about nudes being controversial anymore? You can just assume it's always fake. If everything is fake, why would anyone care?
That is where we are not seeing this the same way. You wanna make fake images, knock yourself out. I don't care who they are. Make some of me for all I care.
Specifically because it's convincing. You may just assume everything is fake, that doesn't mean everyone will. You may not care about seeing someone's imperceptibly realistic nude, but if it's depicting them they may care, and they deserve the right for people not to see them like that.
Just because it's not logistically feasible to prevent convincing AI nudes from spreading around doesn't make it ethical
