A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create AI-generated porn of anyone for a price, and has also targeted minors.

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.

    Yeah it’s this shit I’m talking about. We have a whole legal and justice system to deal with this. No kne needs to accept sexual abuse as a new normal. This shit is weird.

      I’m not saying there shouldn’t be consequences for someone who is spreading these pictures with the intention to cause harm to someone’s reputation but it’s incredibly naive to think that the justice system is going to stop deepfakes when it can’t even prevent bike theft. 12 year olds are making these with their smartphones. The technology is extremely accessible and easy to use and that is not going to change. I’m sorry but you’re not putting the toothpaste back into the tube. Wait a few years and you can generate photorealistic porn videos of anyone you want.

            You might want to look up what strawmanning means. I’m just flat out mocking what you said.

      No we don’t. What is happening here is not covered by current laws.

      Sexual abuse?

      Child pornography involves molesting a child and is a crime, as it should be.

      Fake nudes have been a thing for ages and are only an issue if the targeted party takes offense. It may be slander but it’s certainly not sexual abuse.

      No one is accepting sexual abuse so drop it down a notch, Karen.

        Deep fakes can change how the victim is treated by other people. Especially other kids.

        Upthread, someone states

        we’re just going to need to accept as a new normal.

        Which sounds a lot like accepting this kind of shit, regardless of what you call it.

        From another comment:

        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.

        Try to imagine watching a realistic video of yourself being abused, imagine your mother watching. That will absolutely fuck some people up, and a lot of those victims are going to be children. Shit is going to get bad.
