‘IRL Fakes:’ Where People Pay for AI-Generated Porn of Normal People (www.404media.co)

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.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be consequences for someone who is spreading these pictures with the intention to cause harm to someone's reputation but it's incredibly naive to think that the justice system is going to stop deepfakes when it can't even prevent bike theft. 12 year olds are making these with their smartphones. The technology is extremely accessible and easy to use and that is not going to change. I'm sorry but you're not putting the toothpaste back into the tube. Wait a few years and you can generate photorealistic porn videos of anyone you want.

When you start strawmanning you've already lost the argument.

You might want to look up what strawmanning means. I'm just flat out mocking what you said.
