      On the Internet, censorship happens not by having too little information, but too much information in which it is difficult to find what you want.

      We all have only so much time to spend on the Internet and so necessarily get a filtered experience of everything that happens on the Internet.

          No, that is not what I’m saying, mostly because I don’t think it is true. I’m saying that nowadays there is nearly all kinds of information one can think of somewhere out there on the Internet; but if it is only in relatively obscure places and you don’t know where to look for it, then it is still de facto censored by having too much other information out there.

      Why would it make revenge porn less of a thing? Why are so many people here convinced that as long people say it’s “fake” it’s not going to negatively affect them?

      The mouth breathers will never go away. They might even use the excuse the other way around, that because someone could say just about everything is fake, then it might be real and the victim might be lying. Remember that blurry pictures of bigfoot were enough to fool a lot of people.

      Hell, even others believe it is fake, wouldn’t it still be humilliating?

        I think you’re underestimating the potential effects of an entire society starting to distrust pictures/video. Yeah a blurry Bigfoot fooled an entire generation, but nowadays most people you talk to will say it’s doctored. Scale that up to a point where literally anyone can make completely realistic pics/vids of anything in their imagination, and have it be indistinguishable from real life? I think there’s a pretty good chance that “nope, that’s a fake picture of me” will be a believable, no question response to just about anything. It’s a problem

          There are still people to believe in Bigfoot and UFOs, there’s still people falling for hoaxes every day. To the extent that distrust is spreading, it’s not manifested as widespread reasonable skepticism but the tendency to double down on what people already believe. There are more flat earthers today than there were decades ago.

          We are heading to a point that if anyone says deepfake porn is fake, regardless of reasons and arguments, people might just think it’s real just because they feel like it might be. At this point, this isn’t even a new situation. Just like people skip reputable scientific and journalistic sources in favor of random blogs that validate what they already believe, they will treat images, deepfaked or not, much in the same way.

          So, at best, some people might believe the victim regardless, but some won’t no matter what is said, and they will treat them as if those images are real.

            This strikes me as correct, it’s kind of more complicated than just the blanket statement of “oh, everyone will have too calloused of a mind to believe anything ever again”. People will just try to intuit truth from surrounding context in a vacuum, much like how they do with our current every day reality where I’m really just a brain in a vat or whatever.

        The default assumption will be that a video is fake. In the very near future you will be able to say “voice assistant thing show me a video of that cute girl from the cafe today getting double teamed by robocop and an ewok wearing a tu-tu”. It will be so trivial to create this stuff that the question will be “why were you watching a naughty video of me” rather than “omg I can’t believe this naughty video of me exists”.

    Fake celebrity porn has existed since before photography, in the form of drawings and impersonators. At this point, if you’re even somewhat young and good-looking (and sometimes even if you’re not), the fake porn should be expected as part of the price you pay for fame. It isn’t as though the sort of person who gets off on this cares whether the pictures are real or not—they just need them to be close enough that they can fool themselves.

    Is it right? No, but it’s the way the world is, because humans suck.

      Honestly, the way I look at it is that the real offense is publishing.

      While still creepy, it would be hard to condemn someone for making fakes for personal consumption. Making an AI fake is the high-tech equivalent of gluing a cutout of your crush’s face onto a playboy centerfold. It’s hard to want to prohibit people from pretending.

      But posting those fakes online is the high-tech, scaled-up version of xeroxing the playboy centerfold with your crush’s face on it, and taping up copies all over town for everyone to see.

      Obviously, there’s a clear line people should not cross, but it’s clear that without laws to deter it, AI fakes are just going to circulate freely.

        Yup, it’s all the more frustrating when you take into account that social media sites do have the capability to know if an image is NSFW, and if it matches the face of a celebrity. Knowing Taylors fan base, they are probably quickly reported.

        It’s mainly twitter as well, and it’s clear they are letting this go on to drum up controversy.

      Google Search didn’t really turn up much, far less than if you were to search up something like ‘Nancy Pelosi nude’ even, it kind of seems overblown and the only reason it’s gotten any news is because of who it happened to. Just being famous nowadays seems like you’re just going to see photoshopped or deepfake porn of yourself spread all over the internet.

    God what a garbage article:

    On X—which used to be called Twitter before it was bought by billionaire edgelord Elon Musk

    I mean, really? The guy makes my skin crawl, but what a hypocritically edgy comment to put into an article.

    And then zero comment from Taylor Swift in it at all. She is basically just speaking for her. Not only that, but she anoints herself spokesperson for all women…while also pretty conspicuously ignoring that men can be victims of this too.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending non consensual ai porn in the least, and I assume the author and I are mostly in agreement about the need for something to be done about it.

    But it’s trashy politically charged and biased articles like this that make people take sides on things like this. Imo, the author is contributing to the problems of society she probably wants to fix.

      Its vice, their whole brand is edgy. Calling Elon an edgelord is very on brand for them.

      pretty conspicuously ignoring that men can be victims of this too.

      Sure, but women are disproportionately affected by this. You’re making the “all lives matter” argument of AI porn

      make people take sides on things like this

      People should be taking sides on this.

      Just seems like you wanna get mad for no reason? I read the article, and it doesn’t come across nearly as bad as you would lead anyone to believe. This article is about deepfake pornography as a whole, and how is can (and more importantly HAS) affected women, including minors. Sure it would have been nice to have a comment from Taylor, but i really don’t think it was necessary.

        I’ve come across this source before and don’t recall being so turned off by the tone. If this is on brand for them, then my criticism is not limited to the author.

        Sure, but women are disproportionately affected by this. You’re making the “all lives matter” argument of AI porn

        You have a point, but I disagree. Black lives matter is effectively saying that black lives currently don’t matter (mainly when it comes to policing). All lives matter is being dismissive of that claim because no one really believes that white lives don’t matter to police. Pointing to the fact that there are male victims too is not dismissive of the fact that women are the primary victims of this. It’s almost the opposite and ignoring males is being dismissive of victims.

        People should be taking sides on this.

        Sorry, wasn’t clear on that point. What I was saying here is this will make people take sides based on their politics rather than on the merits of whether it’s wrong in and of itself.

        i really don’t think it was necessary.

        Neither was her speaking for swift, nor all of women kind, nor only making it about women, nor calling musk an edge lord. You seem to be making the same argument as me.

              Social media is not known for keeping things contained.

                It’s also not known for making you have to use it.

                  Today? I wouldn’t say that so confidently (on Lemmy even). People working in media and marketing do have to use it. Even if they aren’t in it, it doesn’t mean they are immune to such a thing happening, or that people they know won’t stumble on it.

                I doubt she has one. Also I haven’t talked to her in years and I’m not about to start now.

      An Argentine candidate got filmed while being allegedly stoned, so “someone” released an even worst video that was clearly fabricated by an AI to disprove the first one. It kind of worked

        How does video indicate someone is stoned?

          In my mind I’m imagining its a video of him making a cream cheese sandwich between two strawberries pop tarts because thats how I always knew my buddy was stoned.

          Usually when you see rock flying towards someone…

          Kidding. I dont know if stoned was the right word, but he looked like* being under the influence of some substance. Then people started saying it was coke.

          Strange movements, the jaw moving periodically and in a akward position, looking very atentive with the eyes wide open… I dont have experience with anything of this and im not saying that he was under the influence of something, but those are the things that made the public opinion decide that he was doing coke.

          *according to the opinión of the populace

          Edit: we call it the Maradona stance

            Fair enough. It’d be worse if he was sober and acting that way.

      The only sensible course of action is to deep fake nudes of all our old grody ass relatives until everyone feels desensitized towards being naked

    I’m not saying she shouldn’t have complained about this. She has every right to, but complaining about it definitely made the problem a lot worse.

        This is something negative that can impact her not something negative she did that she’d like us to forget.

        She oughta make a stink and put a spotlight on it if it’s gonna hurt her image.

        Except she’s the most famous woman in the country, a well-established sex symbol, and already the subject of enumerable erotic fantasies and fictions.

        Its the same problem as “The Fappening” from forever ago. The fact that this exists is its own fuel and whether she chooses to acknowledge it or not is a moot point. Someone is going to talk about it and the news will spread.

      This a problem that doesn’t just affect her though. Not discussing the problem means it doesn’t get worse for her, but does continue to happen to other people.

      Discussing it means it gets worse for her but there could be potentially be solutions found. Solutions that would help her and other people affected.

      Worst case scenario is no solution is found, but the people making AI porn make more Taylor Swift AI porn which results in less resources being devoted towards making AI porn of other people. This makes things worse for Swift but better for other people.

      TLDR; Taylor Swift is a saint and is operating a level that us petty sinners can’t comprehend.

      she drew so much attention to it though that there are more news stories than actual images at this point. if you look for the images, you’re gonna have to go through pages and pages of news articles about it at this point. not sure if it was intentional, but kinda worked…

    At least now, if pictures are real, you can say it’s AI generated.

    Still, to be honest, I’ve never understood how some people can let one night stands film them naked.

    If it’s a longtime girlfriend or boyfriend and they betray you, it’s different, but people aren’t acting in a clever way when it comes to sex.

      There’s nothing wrong with recording your naked body and it being seen online by willing persons.

      The people who would disrespect you for it, they’re the problem.

        That’s not what I’m talking about.

        I’m talking about not being careful who you’re giving these images if you don’t want them to spread online. And, of course, the person sharing it on the web is the guilty person, not the naked victim.

          Well, this very situation shows one can be as careful as they could and they might still have porn of themselves spread everywhere.

            Yeah it’s true.

            But at least it’s not your real intimacy this time.

            Still I understand how traumatic it can be, especially for young people.

    Well, targeting someone famous and going overboard with it likely results in legal responses. Perhaps this gets deepfakes then attention they need to be regulated or legally punishable. Especially when targeting underage children.

    Some of them are really good too, in a realistic sense. You can tell they are AI though.
