Nearly a year after AI-generated nude images of high school girls upended a community in southern Spain, a juvenile court this summer sentenced 15 of their classmates to a year of probation.
But the artificial intelligence tool used to create the harmful deepfakes is still easily accessible on the internet, promising to “undress any photo” uploaded to the website within seconds.
Now a new effort to shut down the app and others like it is being pursued in California, where San Francisco this week filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit that experts say could set a precedent but will also face many hurdles.
I can’t imagine the difficulty of resolving this, especially since most of the AI models are available for free use.
Yeah it’s a
chimerahydra, similar to illegal movie streaming sites. Unless they solve it at the AI engine level, they’re just chasing ghosts.Do you mean hydra?
Shit, my bad. Yep I meant hydra. I need to brush up on my Greek mythology.
You won’t prevent it without (or even with) unacceptable restrictions on free speech. Those models have a right to exist.
But you can raise the barrier to entry so people will need to run their own service to do it. You’ll make a crazy dent in middle school kids spreading fake nudes of their classmates if they can’t just use a managed online service.
New ones maybe. The current ones are out there and won’t go anywhere.
It’s a hydra. It’s effectively impossible.
This is a dog and pony show. Between the unlikelihood of a municipality holding any sway over an internet site, it completely ignores the futility of trying to close the Pandora’s box that is AI imagery. I can download half a dozen deepfake video models that would run on a home server, let alone still imaging.
This about the level of technological savvy I would expect from a city councillor.
Predictions:
Men: “I didn’t film gay porn, that’s a deepfake.” The issue is dropped.
Women: “Those videos you’re sharing aren’t real, use my image without my consent, and I want them removed.” She is called a slut.
Got any examples of this that didn’t happen in your head?
Predictions:
Oh, quit clutching your pearls.
No thanks, as a child of rape I hate misogyny.
Thanks for the explanation?
No problem!
Good Lord how naive are you that you don’t think there’s a difference? I mean honestly what fucking world do you live in? I honestly am amazed that someone could still not understand this. Where have you been the last few weeks?
Those who enjoy treating women as sexual objects will always be offended by the idea that this exploitation is somehow unfair. Furthermore, they will take great offence at this being pointed out, but will never give an explanation for their offence other than by becoming more offended.

Most of the time it is against females. Same as rape but guys are still raped too. It is that quiet reality that most people don’t acknowledged. Slowly new laws are catching up but it is still one side focused.
I would imagine that any deep fake nude could only give me a bigger weiner.
Or it is revenge and make it even smaller.
Go for it, then I could be proud of having a bigger weiner for once lol
Hung like a field mouse.lol
Do give same protection to adult men too
Way to all lives matter the topic buddy
San Francisco and the whole internet police?
It’s an Herculean effort and sadly there’s no way to close the box now, but every bit helps.
Good for San Francisco.
Oh thank Satan it’s just the women and girls. How else can a gay man with a fetish for twinks in clown costumes have any fun without AI generated porn.
(humor)
We need a very low barrier of entry to generate gay porn from a single image of a male before this problem will be taken seriously.
