This is pretty unique in how it makes it possible to falsify convincing nudes of real persons by people with no technical or artistic knowledge. And it can do it in an instant and in limitless quantities.
So there is really no historical precedence for this.
Ok, so this technology solves a very really problem: how do we stop the circulation of child porn. Unlike any other time in history, people have the option of convincingly claiming that any picture of them was fake. Everyone knows that its super easy to fake this stuff, so odds are any REAL content could be easily claimed to be fake. Back when i was in school, there were several girls who moved presumably because of bullying due to their nudes being circulated. I dont know about the bullying, but i know the person who was circulating the nudes. If they had the option of convincingly claiming they were fake(it actually goes further than that. Now its LIKELY they’re fake, and can generally be assumed to be so) then that wouldve dramatically lessened the appeal of spreading them.
Definitely easier but I think photoshop is probably the closest.
You still needed some amount of skill, but there was also plenty of people with those skills willing to use them for free (or for a small fee)
Definitely easier now, but at least the invasion of privacy aspect has been experienced before. Seems like we didn’t really come up with anything as a society for it though.
I think the incentives will likely align to not regulating this. The thing that society would likely try to regulate is if these fakes end up blasted all over social media, but the social media companies dont want to be regulated so they are incentivized to stop that. Personal consumption, while off putting, is probably not going to rankle enough feathers to be a priority.
I suspect you end up where we are at, it exists, you can use it, you can search it out, but it doesn’t show up on the larger platforms because they are incentivized to prevent it voluntarily to avoid regulation.

Don’t forget the environmental impact. We’re torching our planet for nudes

The camera is pretty unique in how a user with no drawing or painting ability can produce true-to-life images by simply pressing a button…
