    Japan

    The same place that had used panties in vending machines and this is somehow shocking.

      There’s still a difference between a piece of clothing that may or may not have been worn by anonymous women and creations using real people without their knowledge or consent. Not trying to defend those vending machines but these aren’t the same in terms of results and potential effects on the victims.

        I think this is more a comment on the particular strain of misogyny that pervades Japanese society and not being surprised that a country which has women only metro carriages out of necessity to prevent sexual harassment is also having a problem with AI generated deep fakes. Though the latter is also a problem in many other countries which have access to these image models.

        Photoshops were a thing before AI. Nobody cares because its just a weird thing creepy do in private.

        I tend to lean more towards the problem being distribution rather than creation, so I’m curious about your opinion on this: Is there a difference between me imaging a sexual act with someone without their consent vs writing/drawing/deepfaking it?

    I’d really love to believe the narrative that the widespread adoption of LLMs will lead to a renaissance of technological breakthroughs, but deep down I know that it’s ultimately going to amplify and enable the absolute worst of what humanity has to offer.

      I got really into so a few years back, partly as a hobby, partly to help me learn to code, partly out of the belief that knowing this could be good for a career transition.

      About six months in the realization hit me that this isn’t one of those job creating inventions. It’s a job destroying invention.

      I still tinker around with so a lot and even at its current development I think it’s a really, really fucking cool tool if you’re running a model locally and have control over it, but i honestly believe it will kill capitalism, and that it’s going to be bloody, bloody fight.

        The scariest part of the LLM craze is seeing people immediately off-load their critical thinking to a black-box mechanism – for everything from everyday decisions, to life-altering ones like career choices and break-ups.

        We have people who are making relationship decisions based on LLM output. People who are getting their delusions validated by AI conversations. I still see human comments posting “I asked ChatGPT and-”. For all the anti-intellectualism I’ve seen, I never thought people would be so quick to offshore their own autonomy, down to the most mundane aspects.

      enable the absolute worst of what humanity has to offer.

      can we call it a reality check? we think of humans as so great and important and unique for quite a while now while the world is spiraling downwards. maybe humans arent so great after all. like what is art? ppl vibe with slob music but birds cant vote. how does that make sense? if one can watch AI slob (and we all will with the constant improvements in ai) and like it, well maybe our taste of art is not any better than what a bird can do and like. i hope LLM will lead to a breakthrough in understanding what type of animal we really are.

    Fake celebrity nudes have been around since… How old is Adobe photoshop now?

    It’s just going to be up to a level where it will go full circle and people won’t actually believe true nudes are real because the default expectation is that they are all fake.

    Hopefully they’re at least mature looking women.

      Or how about just adults.

      source
      • finitebanjo@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Adult Adults or Pubescent Adults? Because that sounds like you want a lower bar to clear? Japan is one of many nations following Romeo and Juliet laws which protect minors age 14 to 18 and pre-existing relationships from persecution by the law, but personally I think production of all sub-18 pornographic imagery should be banned and all gratuitous imagery should be heavily restricted.

      Nothing like subtle racism. I wonder what kind of boots the woman will be wearing? Perhaps tasty ones?

      source
      • finitebanjo@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        There is nothing racist about this. It was debated in Japan in parliament and in courts in 1970, 2003, 2009, 2011, 2013, etc. Both UNICEFF and the US State Department have made public statements and reports about the poor state of child gratuity and smut originating from Japan and of crimes against children in general with the idol industry. In a public opinion poll 86% of Japanese respondents said they needed tighter restrictions on manga and anime obscenity involving minors.

        The worst kind of people are you who ignore real problems with the world and society under the false pretense of fairness. If you really treated them fairly you would hold them to the same standard as everybody else.

        Don’t let fear of being “racist” keep you from calling a spade a spade. Japan has a track record when it comes to issues such as these.

    Yet, nobody is actually doing it! I mean doing anything about it like doing it. But I mean, it’s happening so somebody must be doing it. I don’t know man, I think for sure there has to be somebody doing it.

  • Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    The deepfake concern is moot imo.

    If there’s fake porn of every celebrity in existence then no one photo can be trusted as real, no one different or more put upon than anyone else, all in the same boat.

    sees a naked photo of a celeb

    meh, probably fake…

    forever.

    The pick AI deepfake would be fuck.ai tor website where anyone can upload two photos and watch first being fucked by second.

    Thanks for sharing your perspective. It sounds like your main issue is the potential damage that could be caused and not the act itself?

  • Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    The resolution on those is so poor that I can’t imagine these becoming popular unless they figure out how to get them much less pixelated.

    source
    • billwashere@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      And most of the porn is pixelated anyway? At this point I’d assume anything pixelated is Pavlovian and arousing to most Japanese.

        Box blur just hits different if you are Japanese

    Ngl, I’ve been tempted to find one of those things and use it on a picture of myself just to see how accurate they get.

    But it would have to be totally offline, and even then I wouldn’t actually do it
