The people being exploited are the ones who are the victims of this, not people who paid for it.

That’s a ripoff. It costs them at most $0.1 to do simple stable diffusion img2img. And most people could do it themselves, they’re purposefully exploiting people who aren’t tech savvy.

There are many victims, including the perpetrators.

Scan is another thing. Rick these people.
But fuck dude they stunt taking advantage of anyone buying the service. That’s not how the fucking world works. It turns out that even you have money you can post for people to do shit like clean your house or do an oil change.
NOBODY on that side of the equation are bring exploited 🤣

In my experience with SD, getting images that aren’t obviously “wrong” in some way takes multiple iterations with quite some time spent tuning prompts and parameters.

Wait? This is a tool built into stable diffusion?
In regards to people doing it themselves, it might be a bit too technical for some people to setup. But I’ve never tried stable diffusion.

It’s not like deep fake pornography is “built in” but Stable Diffusion can take existing photos and generate stuff on top of it. That’s kinda how it works really. The de-facto standard UI makes it pretty simple, even for someone who’s not too tech savvy: github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui

Img2img isn’t always spot-on with what you want it to do, though. I was making extra pictures for my kid’s bedtime books that we made together and it was really hit or miss. I’ve even goofed around with my own pictures to turn myself into various characters and it doesn’t work out like you want it to much of the time. I can imagine it’s the same when going for porn, where you’d need to do numerous iterations and tweaking over and over to get the right look/facsimile. There are tools/SD plugins like Roop which does make transferring over faces with img2img easier and more reliable, but even then it’s still not perfect. I haven’t messed around with it in several months, so maybe it’s better and easier now.

Thanks for the link, I’ve been running some llm locally, and I have been interested in stable diffusion. I’m not sure I have the specs for it at the moment though.

I have no sympathy for the people who are being scammed here, I hope they lose hundreds to it. Making fake porn of somebody else without their consent, particularly that which could be mistaken for real if it were to be seen by others, is awful.
I wish everyone involved in this industry a very awful day.

Imagine hiring a hit man and then realizing he hired another hit man at half the price. I think the government should compensate them.
