Kylie Brewer isn’t unaccustomed to harassment online. But when people started using Grok-generated nudes of her on an OnlyFans account, it reached another level.

This is absolutely horrible and I wish the media would stop working things as if genAI have xray specs that can reveal what is underneath clothing.
Someone used AI to remove her clothing in the original photo.
Someone used AI to generate a hypothetical nude based on the original photo. They made fake nudes of her for the purpose of harassment, yes, but they did not magically create actual nudes of her. The punishment should be the same as releasing nudes against her will, but terminology like ‘remove clothes’ makes it sound like genAI can magically create real nudes of someone.
I genuinely wish I could enthusiastically agree with you. I won’t go into detail but a friend with whom I have spent a lot of time naked and whose body I know very well had this done to them by one of her students (middle schoolers are the worst). I guess if you feed the AI enough pictures, from enough angles, wearing different outfits, it can vomit a fairly good guess. Excluding birthmarks on the abdomen, a small tattoo on the pubic region, and the nipples/areolas, it was REALLY fucking close.
The reason this matter is because the level of detail and accuracy differentiates this assault to things like photoshopping someone’s head on a random nude. This is much, much worse and I think I support treating it as illegally removing someone’s clothes.
Some creep could copy and paste your head on some random nude photo and jack off to that. That’s bad, but imagine that same creep (who you don’t know is a creep) takes photos of you – has you pose for photos – then takes them and “nudifies” them. They can pleasure themselves to photos of you they themselves took. That is absolutely horrifying in my opinion.
PS: My apologies if the above is triggering to anyone here, but I think it is important to not undersell this type of sexual assault.

If only anyone could have anticipated this.
Musk keeps making money, though, so it will keep happening.
