Comment on In the future, there will be a sad scene of widow watching AI porn of their dead spouse

Yeah the future is now: there’s an entire subreddit devoted to deepfaking porn videos of dead women (and it has been around for years! What a great website!)
Oh geez… I haven’t been to Reddit in a few years. Having that be the draw or main aspect of the subreddit just seems really weird.
I can see this being more prominent the closer someone was to their peak, like someone who passed in their 20s or 30s. It’s a sad outcome of our times.
From what I remember it was mostly a control-over-their-body thing. “Ha, I can make porn of you and you can’t stop me” sorta deal. Deeply horrible, though I did just check and it looks like it’s either been taken down or I can’t find it, so there’s that…!
There’s plenty of places catering to that main version like you said. It’s been possible to do this video editing for decades, but the speed and customization feels like it’ll fuck society in unique and horrible ways. You can take a few banal photos & generate hardcore porn.
I’m not a big fan of making shit illegal, but it feels like there should be some consequences to generating this content without consent, especially when distributed. You could turn someone into a porn star with enough time & effort.
I’ve been swayed towards advocating for people to automatically hold the copyright over images of their own appearance - by no means a great solution, but it would work to combat the vast majority of extreme creep behavior.
It was fine before the normies came on
I remember when the Internet first came along, and everybody was so excited about the future potential for the improvement of mankind, and I just kept thinking:
“Have you ever met any People? This going to get really bad.”
You should probably take solace from the fact that there’s still depths of depravity of which you are unaware!
Oh, yeah, a friend ruined me for life, when he said he doesn’t like to watch horror movies, because he is always reminded that he knows that whatever happens in those movies, far, far worse stuff is happening in real life somewhere. I always think that now, whenever I watch a scary movie.

Er… no, reddit still very much has porn. And it’s not deepfakes specifically but the premise of specifically deepfaking deceased people.
