I feel like I live on the Internet and I never see this shit. Either it doesn't exist or I exist on a completely different plane of the net.

You ever somehow get invited to a party you'd usually never be at? With a crowd you.never ever see? This is that.

On the Internet, censorship happens not by having too little information, but too much information in which it is difficult to find what you want.

We all have only so much time to spend on the Internet and so necessarily get a filtered experience of everything that happens on the Internet.

I wonder if this winds up with revenge porn no longer being a thing? Like, if someone leaks nudes of me I can just say it’s a deepfake?

Probably a lot of pain for women from mouth breathers before we get there from here .

[–] [email protected] 56 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I mean, not much happened to protect women after The Fappening, and that happened to boatloads of famous women with lots of money, too.

Arguably, not any billionaires, so we'll see I guess.

This has already been a thing in courts with people saying that audio of them was generated using AI. It's here to stay, and almost nothing is going to be 'real' anymore unless you've seen it directly first-hand.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 10 months ago (2 children)

first-hand.

the first-hand in question:

Why would it make revenge porn less of a thing? Why are so many people here convinced that as long people say it's "fake" it's not going to negatively affect them?

The mouth breathers will never go away. They might even use the excuse the other way around, that because someone could say just about everything is fake, then it might be real and the victim might be lying. Remember that blurry pictures of bigfoot were enough to fool a lot of people.

Hell, even others believe it is fake, wouldn't it still be humilliating?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (4 children)

I think you're underestimating the potential effects of an entire society starting to distrust pictures/video. Yeah a blurry Bigfoot fooled an entire generation, but nowadays most people you talk to will say it's doctored. Scale that up to a point where literally anyone can make completely realistic pics/vids of anything in their imagination, and have it be indistinguishable from real life? I think there's a pretty good chance that "nope, that's a fake picture of me" will be a believable, no question response to just about anything. It's a problem

Fake celebrity porn has existed since before photography, in the form of drawings and impersonators. At this point, if you're even somewhat young and good-looking (and sometimes even if you're not), the fake porn should be expected as part of the price you pay for fame. It isn't as though the sort of person who gets off on this cares whether the pictures are real or not—they just need them to be close enough that they can fool themselves.

Is it right? No, but it's the way the world is, because humans suck.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Honestly, the way I look at it is that the real offense is publishing.

While still creepy, it would be hard to condemn someone for making fakes for personal consumption. Making an AI fake is the high-tech equivalent of gluing a cutout of your crush's face onto a playboy centerfold. It's hard to want to prohibit people from pretending.

But posting those fakes online is the high-tech, scaled-up version of xeroxing the playboy centerfold with your crush's face on it, and taping up copies all over town for everyone to see.

Obviously, there's a clear line people should not cross, but it's clear that without laws to deter it, AI fakes are just going to circulate freely.

At first I read that as "cousin's face" and I was like "bru, that's oddly specific." Lol

WHAT?? DISGUSTING! WHERE WOULD THESE JERKS PUT THIS ? WHAT SPECIFIC WEBSITE DO I NEED TO BOYCOTT?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago

Google Search didn’t really turn up much, far less than if you were to search up something like ‘Nancy Pelosi nude’ even, it kind of seems overblown and the only reason it’s gotten any news is because of who it happened to. Just being famous nowadays seems like you’re just going to see photoshopped or deepfake porn of yourself spread all over the internet.

Went to Bing and found "Taylor swift ai pictures" as a top search. LOTS of images of her being railed by Sesame Street characters

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Im gonna be real...

When I stumbled upon (didn't go looking to be clear) her and Oscar the Grouch on a pile of trash... It sent me.

I know the whole situation is gross but I couldn't stop laughing due to the sheer absurdity. Like... What???

God what a garbage article:

On X—which used to be called Twitter before it was bought by billionaire edgelord Elon Musk

I mean, really? The guy makes my skin crawl, but what a hypocritically edgy comment to put into an article.

And then zero comment from Taylor Swift in it at all. She is basically just speaking for her. Not only that, but she anoints herself spokesperson for all women...while also pretty conspicuously ignoring that men can be victims of this too.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending non consensual ai porn in the least, and I assume the author and I are mostly in agreement about the need for something to be done about it.

But it's trashy politically charged and biased articles like this that make people take sides on things like this. Imo, the author is contributing to the problems of society she probably wants to fix.

Its vice, their whole brand is edgy. Calling Elon an edgelord is very on brand for them.

pretty conspicuously ignoring that men can be victims of this too.

Sure, but women are disproportionately affected by this. You're making the "all lives matter" argument of AI porn

make people take sides on things like this

People should be taking sides on this.

Just seems like you wanna get mad for no reason? I read the article, and it doesn't come across nearly as bad as you would lead anyone to believe. This article is about deepfake pornography as a whole, and how is can (and more importantly HAS) affected women, including minors. Sure it would have been nice to have a comment from Taylor, but i really don't think it was necessary.

On the contrary, I find it more ridiculous when news media pretends like nothing is wrong over at Twitter HQ. I wish more journalists would call Musk out like this every time they're forced to mention Twitter.

People have been doing these for years even before AGI.

Now, it's just faster.

Edit: Sorry, I suppose I should mean LLM AI

There is no point waiting for a response...the threat has been neutralized. Now repeat after me: There is no AGI.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

AGI continues to exist purely in the realm of science fiction.

Nightmare? Doesn't it simply give them the chance to just say any naked pic of them is fake now?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (32 children)

Oh I'm sure that must be a very nice thing to talk out with your mother or significant other.

"Don't worry they are plastering naked pictures of me everywhere, it's all fake"

And this is why I don’t want to be famous. Being famous exposes your name to the crazies of the world, and leaves you blissfully unaware until the crazies snap.

I'm not saying she shouldn't have complained about this. She has every right to, but complaining about it definitely made the problem a lot worse.

At least now, if pictures are real, you can say it’s AI generated.

Still, to be honest, I’ve never understood how some people can let one night stands film them naked.

If it’s a longtime girlfriend or boyfriend and they betray you, it’s different, but people aren’t acting in a clever way when it comes to sex.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There's nothing wrong with recording your naked body and it being seen online by willing persons.

The people who would disrespect you for it, they're the problem.

[–] Dariusmiles2123 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That’s not what I’m talking about.

I’m talking about not being careful who you’re giving these images if you don’t want them to spread online. And, of course, the person sharing it on the web is the guilty person, not the naked victim.

Well, targeting someone famous and going overboard with it likely results in legal responses. Perhaps this gets deepfakes then attention they need to be regulated or legally punishable. Especially when targeting underage children.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Some of them are really good too, in a realistic sense. You can tell they are AI though.

She does have the money to sue every poster to kingdom come.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah, I'm sure next time she's looking for a job her potential employer will google her name and when he find this fake porn will not hire her. She will forever be haunted by this and her career and personal life will suffer. You know, every woman's nightmare.
