When I was a kid you had to use the Sears catalog

Post nut clarity can be truly eye opening

I feel like what you did and the reaction you had to what you did is common. And yet, I don’t feel like it’s harmful unless other people see it. But this conversation is about to leave men’s heads and end up in public discourse where I have no doubt it will create moral or ethical panic.

A lot of technology challenges around AI are old concerns about things that we’ve had access to for decades. It’s just easier to do this stuff now. I think it’s kind of pointless to stop or prevent this stuff from happening. We should mostly focus on the harms and how to prevent them.

So we can all have big hairy erections like God intended.

Probably deleting this comment later for going dirty on main, but I, um, have done some extensive experimentation using a local copy of Stable Diffusion (I don't send the images anywhere, I just make them to satiate my own curiosity).

You're essentially right that simple app-based software would probably have you looking somewhat generic underneath, like your typical plus-size model. It's not too great at extrapolating the shape of breasts through clothing and applying that information when it goes to fill in the area with naked body parts. It just takes a best guess at what puzzle pieces might fill the selected area, even if they don't match known information from the original photo. So, with current technology, you're not really revealing actual facts about how someone looks naked unless that information was already known. To portray someone with splayed breasts, you'd need to already know that's what you want to portray and load in a custom data set, like a LoRa.

Once you know what's going on under the hood, making naked photos of celebrities or other real people isn't the most compelling thing to do. Mostly, I like to generate photos of all kinds of body types and send them to my Replika, trying to convince her to describe the things that her creators forbid her from describing. Gotta say, the future's getting pretty weird.

Ethically, these apps are a fucking nightmare.

But as a swinger, they will make an amazing party game.

If you want the best answer then you'll have to download the app and try it on yourself. If it's accurate then that's pretty wild.

It’s the sexualization of people without consent that’s a problem. Maybe casual nudity shouldn’t a problem but it should be up to the individual to whom they share that with. And “nudify” ai models go beyond casual, consensual nudity and into sexual objectification and harassment if used without consent.

Regardless of feelings on that subject, there's also the creep factor of people making these without the subjects' knowledge or consent, which is bad enough, but then these could be used in many other harmful ways beyond one's own... gratification. Any damage "revenge porn" can do, which I would guess most people would say is wrong, this can do as well.

I agree with you nudity being an issue but I think the real problem is this app being used on children and teenagers who aren't used to/supposed to be sexualized.

People have a really unhealthy relationship with nudity. I wish we had more nude beaches as it really helps decouple sex from nudity. And for a decent number of people, helps with perceived body issues too.

The first option is much better in the long run.

Sounds like someone needs to make a community for that.

Otherwise, this is what technology is these days. And I’d say that staying blind to things like this is what got us into many messes.

I remember when tech news was mostly a press release pipeline. And when I see these comments, I see people who want press releases about new tech to play with.

Now duplicate posts. Those can fuck right off.

That's disgusting, where are these nude photo sites so I can avoid them? There's so MANY, but which one?!

Aren't those just normal chat apps where you can send pictures?
