Comment on ‘Nudify’ Apps That Use AI to ‘Undress’ Women in Photos Are Soaring in Popularity
azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 11 months agoI’ve seen ads for these apps on porn websites. That ain’t right.
Any moron can buy a match and a gallon of gasoline, freely and legally, and that’s a good thing. But I would hope that anyone advertising and/or selling Arson Kits™ online would be jailed. Of course this will not stop determined arsonists, but repression might deter morons, inventive psychopaths, and overly impulsive people (especially teenagers!) from actually going through with a criminal act. Not all of them. But some/most of them. And that’s already a huge win.

I mean, you’ve been able to do a cursory search and get dozens of “celeb lookalike” porn for many years now. “Scarjo goes bareback” isn’t hard to find, but that ain’t Scarjo in the video. How is this different?

This is different because, to a certain extent, people in the public eye can expect, anticipate, and react to/suppress this kind of thing. They have managers and PR people who can help them handle it in a way that doesn’t negatively affect them. Billy’s 13 year old classmate Stacy doesn’t have those resources and now he can do the same thing to her. It’s on a very different level of harm.

Billy doesn’t need a nudify app to imagine Stacy naked. Not to mention, images of a naked 13 year old are illegal regardless.

Why are you pretending that “nudify apps” are produce ephemeral pictures equivalent to a mental image? They are most definitely not.
Underage teenagers already HAVE shared fake porn of their classmates. It being illegal doesn’t stop them, and as fun as locking up a thirteen year old sounds (assuming they get caught, prosecuted, and convicted) that still leaves another kid traumatized.

Just as the other people in this made up scenario don’t need an app to imagine Scarlet Johansen naked. It’s a null point.
