An open AI video generation model that was released last month is now being used by thousands of people to generate nonconsensual sexual videos of real people.
Is drawing someone on paper nude okay? What if it’s hyper realistic? What if it’s just a stick figure with giant breasts added? Is using Photoshop to enhance it okay? All of these things are things we do.
It’s much more nuanced than it seems. Where is the societal line of what’s okay and what isn’t?
Note I didn’t defend anything. Simply asking where the line was. If the line is consent then, does that mean the AI should be banned? What about Photoshop? What about stick figures of people with boobs? How far should we go to make sure it never happens? Should doors be burst down and office drawers be searched? Will you decide?
Why should it stop at physical representations? What about romance novels that are inspired by real people? Movies? How lewd is to the point of policing these actions? Is simple inspiration okay, at what likeness does an actor have to match them?
People have been making face swap porn since mspaint came out. I’m sure in the future we’ll have the Futurama Napster scenario fully actualized. My main question remains, where is the line in the sand? Is it here? Is it now? Why wasn’t it 20 years ago? Or 50 years ago with Elmer’s glue and magazines? Or is it in the future?
Nuance. It’s not a yes or no thing, and again I’m not defending anyone, all I’m saying is AI is Pandora’s box and it’s been flung open - but it’s only amplifying what was already there.
Remember this thread is about a bot commodifying the production of cumshot videos from any person’s photo. I fail to see any nuance here. There is only one use: generating porn featuring people that don’t want to. Decency rules continues to apply to general use tools as it always did.

The line is consent. Always has been.
EDIT: so many of you bending over backwards defending that creepy shit. Mind boggling.
Like everyone is familiar with SSC. That’s an ongoing problem and has been since my introduction to BDSM, which was its own personal brand of hell.

I think we can all agree that stick figures with breasts are objectively funny.

Sadly tech lovers tend not to care about consent.
