‘IRL Fakes:’ Where People Pay for AI-Generated Porn of Normal People

This is only going to get easier. The djinn is out of the bottle.

This is not new. People have been Photoshopping this kind of thing since before there was Photoshop. Why "AI" being involved matters is beyond me. The result is the same: fake porn/nudes.

And all the hand wringing in the world about it being non consensual will not stop it. The cat has been out of the bag for a long time.

I think we all need to shift to not believing what we see. It is counterintuitive, but also the new normal.

To people who aren't sure if this should be illegal or what the big deal is: according to Harvard clinical psychiatrist and instructor Dr. Alok Kanojia (aka Dr. K from HealthyGamerGG), once non-consensual pornography (which deepfakes are classified as) is made public over half of people involved will have the urge to kill themselves. There's also extreme risk of feeling depressed, angry, anxiety, etc. The analogy given is it's like watching video the next day of yourself undergoing sex without consent as if you'd been drugged.

I'll admit I used to look at celeb deepfakes, but once I saw that video I stopped immediately and avoid it as much as I possibly can. I believe porn can be done correctly with participant protection and respect. Regarding deepfakes/revenge porn though that statistic about suicidal ideation puts it outside of healthy or ethical. Obviously I can't make that decision for others or purge the internet, but the fact that there's such regular and extreme harm for the (what I now know are) victims of non-consensual porn makes it personally immoral. Not because of religion or society but because I want my entertainment to be at minimum consensual and hopefully fun and exciting, not killing people or ruining their happiness.

I get that people say this is the new normal, but it's already resulted in trauma and will almost certainly continue to do so. Maybe even get worse as the deepfakes get more realistic.

That's a ripoff. It costs them at most $0.1 to do simple stable diffusion img2img. And most people could do it themselves, they're purposefully exploiting people who aren't tech savvy.

I doubt tbh that this is the most severe harm of generative AI tools lol

Porn of Normal People

Why did they feel the need to add that "normal" to the headline?

You can get 300 tokens in pornx dot ai for $9.99. This guy is ripping people off.

I'd like to share my initial opinion here. "non consential Ai generated nudes" is technically a freedom, no? Like, we can bastardize our president's, paste peoples photos on devils or other characters, why is Ai nudes where the line is drawn? The internet made photos of trump and putin kissing shirtless.

We are acting as if through out history we managed to orient technology so as to to only keep the benefits and eliminate negative effects. while in reality most of the technology we use still comes with both aspects. and it is not gonna be different with AI.

You don't even need to pay, some people do it for free on /b/

It's gonna suck no matter what once the technology became available. Perhaps in a bunch of generations there will be a massive cultural shift to something less toxic.

May as well drink the poison if I'm gonna be immersed in it. Cheers.

It's stuff like this that makes me against copyright laws. To me it is clear and obvious that you own your own image, and it is far less obvious to me that a company can own an image whose creator drew multiple decades ago that everyone can identify. And yet one is protected and the other isn't.

What the hell do you own if not yourself? How come a corporation has more rights than we do?

I wonder how holodecks handle this...

We need to shut this whole coomer thing down until we work out wtf is going on in their brains.

Every time this comes up, all the tech nerds here like to excuse it as fine and not a bad thing at all. I am hoping this won't happen this time, but knowing lemmys audience...

I say stop antagonizing the AI.
The only difference between a skilled artist making it with Photoshop and someone using a Neural Net, is the amount of time and effort put into creating the instance.

If there are to be any laws against these, they need to apply to any and every fake that's convincing enough, no matter the technology used.

Don't blame the gunpowder for the dead person.
People were being killed by thrown stones before that.

Oooo puter' bobs and vagenes. Scissor me timbers that gets me hot n bothered

God, generative ai is such a fucking caustic technology. I honestly don't see anything positive and not disgusting enabled by this tech.

Edit: I see people don't agree, but like why can't ai stick to translating stuff and being useful rather than making horrifically unethical porn, taking the humanity out of art, and replacing peoples jobs with statistical content generation. I hate it here.

The root problem is government not enforcing the law on internet. Deepfakes existed for years.
The law enforcement should be more proactive on internet.

This business is going to get out of control. It's going to get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.
