"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Billions of dollars poured into AI for... Nudes. The stupidity of humanity has no boundaries...
Techbros trying desperately to solve the very real problem of them not getting any through removing that little obstacle in their way: consent.
One of the first pieces of recorded video was porn. New same as the old.
I'm fairly certain that one was consensul though.
Look this software is vile and needs to be shut down. But this is hardly humanity's first foray into using new tech for nudes.
The printing press, photography, cinema, VHS, computers, the internet, etc. Porn, and much of it illegal and unsavoury, was there pretty early on.
This is pretty unique in how it makes it possible to falsify convincing nudes of real persons by people with no technical or artistic knowledge. And it can do it in an instant and in limitless quantities.
So there is really no historical precedence for this.
Don't forget the environmental impact. We're torching our planet for nudes
Definitely easier but I think photoshop is probably the closest.
You still needed some amount of skill, but there was also plenty of people with those skills willing to use them for free (or for a small fee)
Definitely easier now, but at least the invasion of privacy aspect has been experienced before. Seems like we didn’t really come up with anything as a society for it though.
I think the incentives will likely align to not regulating this. The thing that society would likely try to regulate is if these fakes end up blasted all over social media, but the social media companies dont want to be regulated so they are incentivized to stop that. Personal consumption, while off putting, is probably not going to rankle enough feathers to be a priority.
I suspect you end up where we are at, it exists, you can use it, you can search it out, but it doesn’t show up on the larger platforms because they are incentivized to prevent it voluntarily to avoid regulation.
Ok, so this technology solves a very really problem: how do we stop the circulation of child porn. Unlike any other time in history, people have the option of convincingly claiming that any picture of them was fake. Everyone knows that its super easy to fake this stuff, so odds are any REAL content could be easily claimed to be fake. Back when i was in school, there were several girls who moved presumably because of bullying due to their nudes being circulated. I dont know about the bullying, but i know the person who was circulating the nudes. If they had the option of convincingly claiming they were fake(it actually goes further than that. Now its LIKELY they're fake, and can generally be assumed to be so) then that wouldve dramatically lessened the appeal of spreading them.
The camera is pretty unique in how a user with no drawing or painting ability can produce true-to-life images by simply pressing a button…
