‘Nudify’ Apps That Use AI to ‘Undress’ Women in Photos Are Soaring in Popularity::It’s part of a worrying trend of non-consensual “deepfake” pornography being developed and distributed because of advances in artificial intelligence.

What nude data were these models trained on?

This seems like another unhealthy thing that is going to pervert people's sense of what a normal body looks like.

Reminds me of Arthur C Clarke's The Light of Other Days. There's a technology in the book that allows anyone to see anything, anywhere, which eliminates all privacy. Society collectively adjusts, e.g. people masturbate on park benches because who gives a shit, people can tune in to watch me shower anyway.

Although not to the same extreme, I wonder if this could similarly desensitize people: even if it's fake, if you can effectively see anyone naked... what does that do to our collective beliefs and feelings about nakedness?

It could also lead to a human version of "Paris Syndrome" where people AI Undress their crush, only to be sorely disappointed when the real thing is not as good.

~~Hoe~~ How can this be legal though?

The same way that photo shopping someone's face onto a pornstar's body is.

I guess free speech laws protect it? You can draw a picture of someone else nude and it isn’t a violation of the law.

Back in the day, cereal boxes contain "xray glasses". I feel like if those actually worked as intended, we would have already had this issue figured out.

It was inevitable. And it tells more about those who use them.

I wonder how we'd adapt to these tools being that availiable. Especially in blackmail, revenge porn posting, voyeuristic harassment, stalking etc. Maybe, nude photoes and videos won't be seen as a trusted source of information, they won't be any unique worth hunting for, or being worried about.

Our perception of human bodies was long distorted by movies, porn, photoshop and subsequent 'filter-apps', but we still kinda trusted there was something before effects were applied. But what comes next if everything would be imaginary? Would we stop care about it in the future? Or would we grow with a stunted imagination since this stimuli to upgrade it in early years is long gone?

There're some useless dogmas around our bodies that could be lifted in the process, or a more relaxed trend towards clothing choices can start it's wsy. Who knows?

I see bad sides to it right now, how it can be abused, but if these LLMs are to stay, what're the long term consequencies for us?

I can't help but think of nudibranches when I read "nudify".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Someone should make an AI tool that can turn women into nudibranches, it wouldn't be as creepy

That's the 21st century equivalent to those ceral box x-ray glasses!

Just created a Dall-e image of a woman. AI undresser instantly undressed it.

Kinda chilling.
