A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create an AI-generated pornographic image of anyone in the world for as little as $10 if users send them pictures of that person. Like many other Telegram communities and users producing nonconsensual AI-generated sexual images, this user creates fake nude images of celebrities, including images of minors in swimsuits, but is particularly notable because it plainly and openly shows one of the most severe harms of generative AI tools: easily creating nonconsensual pornography of ordinary people.

There are many victims, including the perpetrators.

It seems like there's a news story every month or two about a kid who kills themselves because videos of them are circulating. Or they're being blackmailed.

I have a really hard time thinking of the people who spend ten bucks making deep fakes of other people as victims.
