This is going to be such a culture shift. Kids today are going to grow up in a world where anyone can make any image or video of any person at any time. I have no idea how this will impact sexual health and development or if really it will even be a bad thing. It could lead to more openness and freedom, kind of like growing up with the Internet did. It could also have some really harmful unexpected consequences...kinda like how growing up with the Internet did...

By 2030 we'll have AR glasses with cameras, microphones, speakers, and a built in AI assistant that will digitally remove everyone's clothing in real time.

Pandora's Box is already opened, unfortunately. The Streisand Effect is only going to make this worse.

This article seems to imply that this cat can go back in the bag. I'm not at all sure about that.

This will get bloody. Some western woman and teenager will running the gauntlet of harassment and embarrassment. Some will even suicide because of those fake photos. In other parts of the world, where father and brothers kill family members for shame, it might be even a bloodbath. Imagine living as a woman under a patriarchate where you get in trouble when a curl of hair is visible. Now imagine there are fake nudes about you while you are surrounded by religious fanatics who have a deep routed history of shame and family honour. Look at Mia Khalifa. Woman will die because of this and the backward archaic anachronistic worldview of some insecure weak man.

They'll just make it illegal to do that lol. Realistically tho what else are we supposed to do, the technology exists. If you were dedicated enough you could already do this with Photoshop. I wouldn't be surprised if there was an example of an artist ruining someones reputation by painting them in a compromising way centuries ago

This panic over fake porn is the wrong response. In fact, encourage it, make it so ubiquitous that there is always fake porn of everyone, everywhere and nobody gives two shits about nude leaks or revenge porn any more.

Another day another puritan panic

Yes we should ban open source and consumer gfx cards and everything else to stop the possibility that someone might have a sexual thought -in fact all humans should be blinded at birth to avoid this!

Won't someone think of the children!!!!!

Naaaahhhh we didn’t see this coming at all. Golly gee this is a total shock that this is happening.

Okay, so we need to get unique codes tattooed onto our genitals. That way if your nudes show up, you can always know for sure if they're real or fake (and, importantly, who tf leaked your nudes)

It'll work in their favour eventually. There won't be any more revenge porn because it can just be dismissed as fake immediately.

Combining this with AR goggles, you really will be able to see everyone else naked when you’re giving a speech.

Disgusting! Where are people downloading this app from so that I can avoid the website or that app store?

I’ve made this comment other places, I’ll make it here. This tech changes much less than people think. If anything, this will protect people from leaking of nudes because people will assume it’s probably fake.

All this is is an advanced form of fantasy that has existed ever since photoshop has existed. And importantly, we will deal with these nude photos the exact same way we deal with real nudes.

Meaning, if you catch people distributing fake photos of their classmates, the punishment should be the same as if they were real. And they need to be severe.

The reason this is a problem and I’m concerned for young women is that protections for sexual harassment online have already been abysmal. So this will make things worse and since we don’t protect women very well in the US, I expect major issues. Basically, the problems aren’t new, but our lack of action will make this awful. Treated correctly, this is a non-issue and these photos should be kept in private.
