A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create an AI-generated pornographic image of anyone in the world for as little as $10 if users send them pictures of that person. Like many other Telegram communities and users producing nonconsensual AI-generated sexual images, this user creates fake nude images of celebrities, including images of minors in swimsuits, but is particularly notable because it plainly and openly shows one of the most severe harms of generative AI tools: easily creating nonconsensual pornography of ordinary people.

    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.

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

          It seems like there’s a news story every month or two about a kid who kills themselves because videos of them are circulating. Or they’re being blackmailed.

          I have a really hard time thinking of the people who spend ten bucks making deep fakes of other people as victims.

            Your lack of imagination doesn’t make the plight of non-consensual AI-generated porn artists any less tragic.

        No one’s a victim no one’s being exploited. Same as taping a head on a porno mag.

      IDK, $10 seems pretty reasonable to run a script for someone who doesn’t want to. A lot of people have that type of arrangement for a job…

      That said, I would absolutely never do this for someone, I’m not making nudes of a real person.

      Scam is another thing. Fuck these people selling.

      But fuck dude they aren’t 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 🤣

      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.
