How is this an app that is allowed to exist? The sole purpose of it is to do illigal shit

The way I see it is that while the use case of the app is disgusting and should be illegal, it doesn't do anything that people already can't do with photo editing. AI just makes it more accesible, just like now popular AI chatbots, etc.

So, guns are okay since you might also just throw a rock at someone's head?

And what is an atom bomb, if not just convenient rock throwing.

This will hopefully go the same way as upskirting, becoming illegal explicitly or bundled under some other law. But I have few hopes it will happen fast.

Spanish teens have AI nudes posted on porn sites, in group chats, and used in attempted blackmail.
