4chan is a relatively sequestered part of the internet, and doing this required a level of skill.

There's a reason people freaked out when deepfakes - first photos then videos - started appearing as it lowered the level of entry for creeps. No longer did you need to learn to use a tool through hundreds of hours of not well documented features to achieve nudes, but even the dumbest dipshit with minimal tech skills and money could download the right models, and either rent or buy the right hardware and get lifelike deepfakes, photos or videos, within minutes or hours...

That quickly passed fortunately, but then came the combined agentic models that could use input images, LLMs, and other generative AI to replace the previously lengthy processes with a much quicker approach through cloud hardware.

Aka grok. Which, let's be honest, is an even more idiot-proof solution as all it requires is a Twitter account and marginal prompt engineering skills (which is quite well documented already), so even the worst trolls can easily get going (and here by worst I mean the wannabe trolls who aren't even good enough to be basic trolls).

Yet again the level of entrance was lowered significantly.
