According to the Washington Post (1), some Reddit users have encountered AI-generated photos of a fake AI woman named Claudia, and many are already paying for her photos. According to Rolling Stone (2), Claudia's account was made by two anonymous computer science students.
Meanwhile, Steven Larouche of Quebec pleaded guilty to creating seven DeepFake AI child porn videos (3). The provincial court judge then raises concerns about criminals utilizing AI to target minors whose images are accessible on social media for sexual assaults (4).
In contrast to all the concerns, a new AI porn bot called PornJourney (5) is becoming popular among adults and teenagers. It offers AI porn and AI Hentai that bridges the line between truth and fiction by generating realistic women and girls in response to the user's text prompt (6).
AI porn scam featuring 19-year-old AI model Claudia
Several Reddit users are in love and paying exorbitant prices for AI-generated photos of a fake AI woman named Claudia. People are clamoring for an image of this 19-year-old dark-haired heartbreaker who offers exclusive nude pictures in private.
As people flocked to the fictitiousness of this AI image generator, those who were aware of AI bending called this NSFW content bogus and made the majority of people aware by commenting, "For those who aren't aware, I'm going to kill your fantasy."
"This is an AI creation," he noted, "and if you've worked with AI image models and created your own for a long enough time, you can 100% tell." Sorry to ruin the surprise." This completely caused a firestorm on the internet.
While some complimented the dark-haired 19-year-old AI model in the comments area, others pointed out that the fantasy woman is an AI creation. Even though reading factual comments, many still fell for her and ended up paying for her nudes.
The Reddit account that uploaded the photo was often found posting such explicit content, including lewd photos, to elicit interaction from web strangers. Hearing about an individual who made $500 using images of actual women inspired them, and the account was created as a joke.
According to Rolling Stone (7), the account had made $100 by selling AI-generated naked pictures of Claudia before she was discovered as a fake AI model. Even though some people were warned, lust made many fall into the trap.
Many were caught up in trouble when making transactions and conversing with AI-generated fake bots, and Rolling Stone stated that the students who developed the fake account were kept anonymous on their request.
Since most AI-generated images lack a watermark, social media users cannot rate their accuracy. However, the recent spike in AI-generated photos of naked women like Claudia is associated with the adult industry's explosive growth.
It has drawn support as well as criticism for AI-generated models. However, as mentioned in the tweet below, it also included some unregulated image swap content. You can see the below mention of how people use social media images to generate fake AI porn videos.
Meanwhile, Unstable Diffusion received approximately $60,000 in funds on Kickstarter before its removal from the platform. It is well-known for promoting the legalization of artificial intelligence-generated porn.
The rise of AI has alarmed photographers and artists, who have urged for more rigid industry control. DeepFake's use in generating pornographic content without the subject's consent has already resulted in severe controversy.
A man from Quebec jailed for generating AI Child Porn
Steven Larouche of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, pled guilty to harboring thousands of computer files of AI Child Porn and was sentenced to a further four and a half years in prison.
Any visual portrayal of a person under the legal age of 18 performing explicit sexual conduct is prohibited under Canadian law. However, in Steven's ruling, provincial court judge Benoit Gagnon stated that "he believed this case was the first of its kind in Canada."
On the other hand, the judge has expressed fear that potential criminals will use similar AI technology to project the visages of children whose pictures they obtain on social media onto other films of youngsters being sexually assaulted.
DeepFake technology is increasingly being used by criminals. Moreover, its software allows crimes without the subject's consent. According to Gagon's judgment, this may include every child in the neighborhood.
A short video of a youngster that can be found easily on social media or a video of children recorded in public could convert them into possible targets of child pornography.
Meanwhile, Steven's lawyer argued for a lesser sentence because the children were not (actually) assaulted, but the judge overruled him, stating that their sexual integrity had been violated.
The court said in its judgment that certain photographs and films of child pornography possess a digital fingerprint that allows investigators to identify them. Furthermore, by creating such AI images, Steven made it even more challenging for police to prevent the spread of illegal material.
In February, PetaPixel (8) revealed a computer programmer was imprisoned in Spain for generating AI child porn. It was a first-of-its-kind case for Spain, showing that DeepFake concerns are rising globally.
Since pornography is illegal in India, strict laws are in place to protect people's identities, image-sharing, video-making, and nudity. For DeepFake porn to penetrate India, many additional acts and crimes will undoubtedly be inflicted on the offenders.
Beware of these AI tools Uprooting DeepFake Porn
Everyone knows the MidJourney and DALL-E AI-image-generated tools, which have demonstrated AI's incredible potential by producing realistic visual masterpieces. The potential of AI-generated strategy is also noteworthy in that it can change the "adult entertainment sector."
Restrictions imposed by ISPs limit the ability of AI generators MidJourney and DALL-E to create explicit content. Certain words and prompts have usually been prohibited. Those who attempt to circumvent the system face restrictions and permanent bans or suspensions.
However, to provide a limitless solution to the shortcomings of MidJourney and DALL-E, several explicit AI-image-generator tools emerged, significantly altering the industry and its mindset toward AI text-to-image content.
SoulGen (9) is an NSFW AI text-to-image generator that specializes in two types:
- Hyperrealistic "Real Girls"
- Anime-inspired "Anime Girls"
As the tweet above shows, the platform develops generative features for creating attractive yet unrealistic feminine images.
DeepSwap's (10) AI-powered face-swapping technology allows users to create sensual pictures or videos. DeepSwap is not exclusively meant for NSFW content; its versatility allows users to create some of it.
The site has over 150 million users and is well-known for its user-friendly interface. However, it poses a risk to users because face swap technology and image-to-text creation can readily produce explicit yet realistic content for anyone.
PornJourney (11) is an AI image generator that can create realistic nude, topless, and semi-nude pictures of women. Its creative tool allows you to construct AI models in realistic, anime, and other styles.
DeepNude (12) is an AI-powered website that uses complex algorithms to convert normal photos into nude images. The website is free to use, employs multiple strategies to entice users, and offers a variety of features in its premium subscriptions.
AI is rising, instilling excitement for technological development and advancing technologically advanced threats alongside other AI tools, establishing an AI monopoly. However, AI's benefits and aAI'scations depend on human control over the rising AI tech.
Whether better or worse, AI is here for a long stay!
