Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps (www.404media.co)

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or unwilling to enforce their policies about who can buy ads on their platforms.

While parent company Meta’s Ad Library, which archives ads on its platforms, who paid for them, and where and when they were posted, shows that the company has taken down several of these ads previously, many ads that explicitly invited users to create nudes and some ad buyers were up until I reached out to Meta for comment. Some of these ads were for the best known nonconsensual “undress” or “nudify” services on the internet.

This is also fucking creepy. Don't do this.

But yet, we've (almost) all imagined someone we know naked.

I think anyone claiming otherwisw would be lying most likely.

There is a massive difference between thoughts and action. I'm sure a significant portion of us have thought about murdering someone too, does that make actually going through with murder less bad?

This is a false equivalency. The correct analogy would be: if I think about murdering someone and then draw a picture of it or make a movie about murdering them, is that wrong?

Well I'd usually say you should go to therapy if your having vivid thoughts of murdering other people

I am not saying anyone should do it and don't need some internet stranger to police me thankyouverymuch.
