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.

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.

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 .

[–] thantik@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago (2 children)

first-hand.

the first-hand in question:

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.

[–] BreakDecks@lemmy.ml 48 points 1 year 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.

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.

hypocritically edgy comment to put into an article.

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.

[–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Can you really see nothing other than "pretending nothing is wrong" and "calling musk an edge lord?"

I see the media calling out the faults regularly regularly without needing to act like ..well, an edge lord.

People have been doing these for years even before AGI.

Now, it's just faster.

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

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

I feel like this is amazing. Everyone can get any porn they want and no one gets hurt? And if nudes of anyone are ever "leaked" you could just say they're AI generated. It's like a win win win.

[–] the_q@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you stupid? This absolutely hurts those that are being victimized by this.

Someone paints or uses Photoshop to make a fake but hyper realistic nude of someone. (Kinda weird but not unheard of.)

  • "silence"

AI makes the same thing.

  • "Omg!!! Rabble rabble rabble! Mindless anger!! How could you!"

Spreading it is a shitty thing to do. If you want to make it in your own privacy that's your business, but don't spread it around. It's not like it's hard to make.

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.

[–] GilgameshCatBeard@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You clearly don’t get it, and might be beyond understanding any explanation.

[–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I think @ExLisper is saying Taylor swift is not living other women's porn nightmare - other women need to worry about career impacts and the effect on their capability to earn money and support their families, which taylor, being the industry powerhouse and billionaire she is, need not be really concerned by.

The same way every other issue affects different classes of society differently.

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Exactly. She also doesn't have to worry that the guy she's dating saw it and will dump her or that her co-workers saw it and are spreading rumours at work. She has to worry about her multimillion dollar brand which is something other women don't really have issues with. It's terrible for her but to claim that she somehow represents other woman in this is ridiculous.

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.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago (3 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.

This shit is gross in general but she absolutely markets herself as a sex icon. I guarantee you she's not that upset about more free publicity.

What should I do to avoid these nudes?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

According to the article it's impossible, you will probably see these on a billboard on your way into work. According to real life if you spend several hours looking for them you might find them on some 4chan sub somewhere. If you don't know to avoid corners of the internet like that already, there isn't any hope.

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.
