because it looks like a real image?

    I doubt it.

    Someone should do side-by-side AI slop fake nudes compared to the real thing. I bet they get it wrong as much as they do everything else, i.e. constantly.

    That might have been true in 2022. Now? No. The average person cannot tell the difference between real images and well done generative AI.

    You don’t need to tell that it’s real vs AI. If the objective is to create a picture of the person naked all you do is go “yeah that’s not what I like like naked” and move on.

    There is no way other than random chance that the AI would know about a random scar, mole, or a million other details it will get wrong. And I expect that it will have that plasticky airbrushed look, but AI is getting better about that so maybe not.

    It's still going to get passed around by people who don't know that's not what you look like naked.

    There's literally discord servers for sharing nudes of women people don't like. It's disgusting.

    It’s disgusting yes but I don’t see it as any different than the magazine-style clipping cut-and-paste. More expensive and worse for the environment I suppose,…

    But none of the people involved in creating it care if it’s real, just as before, and the realism isn’t even the point. So it’s functionally identical.

    The magazine style shit is obvious fake. The AI stuff is much easier to pass off as truly being the person that the face belongs to. To do that level of realism used to require a lot of work and even then it was just photos, now you can do videos.

    This just sounds like your solution is for women to show real nude pictures of themselves so others can differentiate between their real nude body and AI fakes... wtf.

    I’m certainly not saying that the people under attack should be obligated to prove it in any way.

    Just curious if the AI is in any way accurate or if it ends up just being generic naked bodies with a recognizable face. I’m guessing it’s the latter.

    I think you are a couple years behind on this

    Could be.

    I don’t doubt that they do really look like naked people, but i doubt they actually look like the person they are supposed to portray.

    In which case… back to square one, you’re putting someone’s head on the body of a different naked person.
