Julia, 21, has received fake nude photos of herself generated by artificial intelligence. The phenomenon is exploding.

“I’d already heard about deepfakes and deepnudes (…) but I wasn’t really aware of it until it happened to me. It was a slightly anecdotal event that happened in other people’s lives, but it wouldn’t happen in mine”, thought Julia, a 21-year-old Belgian marketing student and semi-professional model.

At the end of September 2023, she received an email from an anonymous author. Subject: "Realistic? “We wonder which photo would best resemble you”, she reads.

Attached were five photos of her.

In the original content, posted on her social networks, Julia poses dressed. In front of her eyes are the same photos. Only this time, Julia is completely naked.

Julia has never posed naked. She never took these photos. The Belgian model realises that she has been the victim of a deepfake.

    In my opinion, an eventual loss of prudishness is just a silver lining on the cloud of surveillance capitalism.

      This is exactly the same as slut shaming just in the opposite direction. Prude is a word designed to shame women who refuse to be sex objects.

        Hilarious when you reactionary types try to pretend that giving women greater agency is somehow repressing women.

          Forcing women to accept fake porn of themselves does not give women agency. It does the opposite.

              Im an atheist. If you don’t want to hear differing opinions then what are you doing on a message board?

                  I see you’re just parroting things you don’t understand.
