Japan

The same place that had used panties in vending machines and this is somehow shocking.

[-] Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

There's still a difference between a piece of clothing that may or may not have been worn by anonymous women and creations using real people without their knowledge or consent. Not trying to defend those vending machines but these aren't the same in terms of results and potential effects on the victims.

I think this is more a comment on the particular strain of misogyny that pervades Japanese society and not being surprised that a country which has women only metro carriages out of necessity to prevent sexual harassment is also having a problem with AI generated deep fakes. Though the latter is also a problem in many other countries which have access to these image models.

[-] Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

That's a fair point but, as you already mentioned, deepfakes are a pretty universal problem unfortunately. The type of misogyny in Japan compared to say US or Europe doesn't seem to affect that much (if at all). Either way, it's a terrible practice without sufficient ways to combat it at the moment which makes me pretty worried about how things will evolve in the future - in terms of "content", affecting lives of victims and laws that will come out of this (some probably made in the worst possible knee-jerk reactionary ways).

Could they maybe deepreal their way out of having to censor the hentai already?

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Hopefully they're at least mature looking women.

They could still be sarcastic.... Beware!

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That's impossible because there is no tag. When you see a statement on the internet you need to automatically assume the poster truly believes it or else you open the door to the intolerant.

Nothing like subtle racism. I wonder what kind of boots the woman will be wearing? Perhaps tasty ones?

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

There is nothing racist about this. It was debated in Japan in parliament and in courts in 1970, 2003, 2009, 2011, 2013, etc. Both UNICEFF and the US State Department have made public statements and reports about the poor state of child gratuity and smut originating from Japan and of crimes against children in general with the idol industry. In a public opinion poll 86% of Japanese respondents said they needed tighter restrictions on manga and anime obscenity involving minors.

The worst kind of people are you who ignore real problems with the world and society under the false pretense of fairness. If you really treated them fairly you would hold them to the same standard as everybody else.

Ngl, I've been tempted to find one of those things and use it on a picture of myself just to see how accurate they get.

But it would have to be totally offline, and even then I wouldn't actually do it

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

The resolution on those is so poor that I can't imagine these becoming popular unless they figure out how to get them much less pixelated.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

And most of the porn is pixelated anyway? At this point I’d assume anything pixelated is Pavlovian and arousing to most Japanese.

[-] YesButActuallyMaybe@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Box blur just hits different if you are Japanese

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

So that's the trick!... I just need bigger pixels!

[-] boolean_sledgehammer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'd really love to believe the narrative that the widespread adoption of LLMs will lead to a renaissance of technological breakthroughs, but deep down I know that it's ultimately going to amplify and enable the absolute worst of what humanity has to offer.

[-] trungulox@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I got really into so a few years back, partly as a hobby, partly to help me learn to code, partly out of the belief that knowing this could be good for a career transition.

About six months in the realization hit me that this isn’t one of those job creating inventions. It’s a job destroying invention.

I still tinker around with so a lot and even at its current development I think it’s a really, really fucking cool tool if you’re running a model locally and have control over it, but i honestly believe it will kill capitalism, and that it’s going to be bloody, bloody fight.

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks for sharing your perspective. It sounds like your main issue is the potential damage that could be caused and not the act itself?

[-] vane@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The pick AI deepfake would be ai tor website where anyone can upload two photos and watch first being fucked by second.

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

Yet, nobody is actually doing it! I mean doing anything about it like doing it. But I mean, it's happening so somebody must be doing it. I don't know man, I think for sure there has to be somebody doing it.

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca -4 points 1 month ago

clicked link about a dead pigeon... was expecting/hoping to see some deepfake examples.
