Poor kids at schools. I see a dramatic depression coming for teenage girls. The websites seem to make a lot of money providing these services because all of them ask subscription money to let members 'undress women' with a limited amount of pictures. Smart wizkids.

Ew.. the world is coming to an end. Now we pay money to undress photos of fake women?
And someone actually came up with the idea to do this? A human?

Humans always come up with ways to make money. "Adult" entertainment and activity has always been a surefire way to make money. I have read offhand remarks to the effect it is already being used with celebrity photos/videos to make custom porn videos of these people. You could just supply a photo of someone you know in real life rather than a celebrity to do the same thing.

There was a big scandal about this recently where the porn pictures generated by the AI were being circulated around a high school, featuring the faces of girls in that school.

I was just reading today about how the YouTube ads are out of control with, for example, AI generated deepfake videos of Elon Musk promoting scams.

The better AI gets at this stuff the harder it will be to tell what is real and what is a lie, especially when big companies like Google/YouTube are showing you these ads as if they were legitimate, when they are really scams. Inevitably you are going to see some news, a video, or a photo and think it is a real event happening but it will not be. Or you will see something real and incriminating, but the person involved will claim it is fake and AI generated.

More reason AI should not be allowed to exist. A new evil has been created for the first time in many years. It is an assault on the concept of truth itself and how to even know what is true.

Wow. Those girls are definetly going to consider sewerslide.

Yeah people have been doing this for a long time, even without AI. One time I found a LazyTown h3nt@! blog searching up some photos of Stephers. I clicked on it thinking it was a troll, and I was wrong.
(p.s. how does one make a baby with their uncle, legally...?

I have been seeing that garbage everywhere! Musk doesn't have a channel from what I know.

Absolutely right. AI is going to end the internet. Now I get why everyone is so worried about it. For all I know, it could stop major businesses like Apple or Microsoft soon, because robots will do better at human jobs then humans themselves. Pretty soon, these responses will be AI. Maybe YouTube will be AI [that's already happened, thanks to the new feature summarizing comments on videos with 1m+ views]

We have been living in an age of convenience, where you can call from anywhere, look up anything online from the comfort of your home, do your Christmas shopping from your home PC or phone, pay your bills with a click of a mouse etc. The price has been privacy and security but most people haven't paid it yet. At least outside of China. There everyone is being watched and tracked all the time especially online but even walking in the street due to AI facial recognition and cameras everywhere.

I think AI may make it so easy to break these convenience systems/scam businesses/frame people for crimes that a lot of this convenience may have to go away. We may go back to using landline direct connection phones, and doing shopping and banking in person/through snail mail, because anything on or near a computer or cell phone will be too insecure and too open to snooping/hacking. Right now a lot of important stuff is done via networks; that may have to change to be more like the old ways, because networks will be too vulnerable to AIs, which will make today's human hackers pale by comparison.

I certainly hope not. But essentially we are entering a new age where such images will be so commonplace - remember this does not have to be just an online thing, people could just generate the images in their homes on demand and not share them - that once the shock wears off, people may just shrug and get used to it. So you make a fake nude image of me on your computer, so what. Eventually it may just be considered flattering. You really like looking at pictures of me, you must really think I'm good looking, thank you for the compliment. Modern human cultures have a strange obsession with bodies and covering them up/hiding parts of them, but that is a learned value and can be unlearned. It may have to be, since it seems we are going to be stuck with this, and more, in the days and years to come.

If you look at the history of the "celebrity sex tape" you will see they have gone from being scandalous and horribly embarrassing, to being a career promoting tool.

"The surfacing of sex tapes has become so common that some are "leaked" as a marketing tool to advance or establish a media career."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_sex_tape

That is likely to become a thing of the past because it will become so easy to make your own "sex tapes" featuring whatever celebrities you like, by using AI.

ARE WE GOING TO GET JACKIE CHAN PRON??!?!!?!?!

OR EVEN WORSE
MAGNUS SCHEVING
OR EVEN EVEN WORSER

ITS OVER

The political and legal systems are likely to try to react to these developments with new laws against the creation of various types of images, or the sharing of them. It remains to be seen how effective such laws will be. A lot will depend on if the user has to access a network to get/create the image, if so, they are much easier to catch.

For example Google and Apple both scan any photos uploaded to their cloud storage by people's phones for child pornography and report any bad things they find to the police. If someone has to use an online AI tool to create porn images, they will be much easier to catch than if they can download a program and create the images locally on their own computer where they can't be scanned by companies/the government. Yet.

Right now I think AI tends to be too resource intensive to run on a home computer, they tend to be cloud based, but that may change for limited applications like creating custom images and videos. Right now you can use Photoshop to make your own porn using celebrities or people you know as subjects, something similar may happen for AI generated images and videos to remove the need for human skill.

The result may end up being that your own computer is no longer private, the law may require any and all images on it to be scanned for illegal images on an ongoing basis. Or Microsoft may simply do this itself, the way Google and Apple do, since Windows appears headed to a subscription model and will have to be used while online. Microsoft may scan your computer any time an image or video is created to see if it might be something illegal.

Google and Apple's technology is based on a library of known, real child porn images to compare to, but obviously if AI is creating new ones on demand, this will not work. AI may be used to try to detect such images - one AI makes them and another tries to determine if they are illegal, a war of AI's. I think you will see a lot this kind of thing - AI used to create malware and other AI used to try to detect it. Humans will increasingly be out of the loop and have to rely on AI for everything.

We have entered a strange time.

Rise of the Machines is not far off

Lab Grown Brain Connected to a Microchip Recognized Human Voices

Optimus Gen 2 features Tesla-designed actuators and sensors, faster and more capable hands, faster walking, lower total weight, articulated neck, and more.

A few more years with lab grown brain material connected to microchips
as the brains for Optimus future Gens. Oh boy.

[chuft]

Unethical. They have no idea if such brain cells have a conscious experience. It might be in terrible pain or fear. Someone should stop these monstrous experiments.

I love science and scientists usually do their research on the edge of what is ethical, or even slightly beyond it. Fortunately, there are also people on the other side who ask questions about this and set ethical limits on research. That in turn depends on the level of ethical values in the countries where the research takes place. This was in Australia? I think that these studies will not simply take place in the EU, because higher ethical standards. It will probably take years to get a decision/permission on that. Sometimes that prevents good research, unfortunately. It's a balance. I think I'm more on the side of more research and lower ethical limits.

Exactly what I was thinking. Made me think of the Mothership in Homeworld but she volunteered for it.

It's going to turn into an arms race. I'm sure China probably already has been working on this as well.
China is not constrained by ethics that's a given. And those who succeed first will dominate the world.

The genie is out of the bottle and there's no stopping it now.
