Do you agree that most people wouldn't like to find a nude video of themselves online?
Now why does it make a difference if the video is real or not? It's still a video of a nude body with your face on it.
I find this whole deepfake-porn trend to be incredibly disgusting. And it just saddens me that heterosexual males apparently immediately have to exploit such things for their own hornyness. I guess this is also the reason why this topic is not being criticized as much, because the people who develop and consume these videos can't comprehend how disrespectful it all is towards the people (women) who are being deepfaked AND especially the results being shared online, in most cases publicly.
This recently happened to a large number of women that are Twitch streamers and they are all very upset. You are free to seek out and read their explanations as to why, I'll include a few tweets.
Because it's insanely creepy for someone to photoshop my face onto a naked body without asking me and then post said picture online?!? Especially if it's done so well that people don't notice that it's not actually me.
If your rebuttal is that "not everyone cares if deepfaked photos of themselves are being published online" then the answer is pretty simple: As long as you don't know if someone minds it, don't fucking do it.
It's really alienating to me when I think about the fact that we're discussing if it's okay to upload deepfaked nudes of someone without their consent.
The only reason I can come up with is that some people have probably consumed lots of deepfakes and now don't want admit that it's maybe a bit creepy and wrong.
You don't need consent from anyone depicted in visual art to make visual art. It literally has nothing to do with them.
I see no moral, ethical, or consent issue with deepfakes whatsoever. People are allowed to make whatever sort of CGI they can imagine, and, most critically: they should be.
> You don't need consent from anyone depicted in visual art to make visual art
We're talking about (mr)deepfakes. Which is visual art, yes. Nude visual art.
That's kinda the point. The nudity is what makes it immediately not okay.
If you just deepfake someones face onto Jason Stathams body, they will probably enjoy and laugh about it.
If you deepfake their face onto someone who's getting roughly f*cked in the ass, they might not like it that much.
But then again, not just nudity is wrong. Deepfaking someones face into a video to hurt them is wrong as well.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I really think that AI Ethics should be pushed harder and more seriously.
If someone deepfakes their favorite actresses head into a porn video, I still think that it's wrong. What I would appreciate is if I can at least agree with this person, that what they're doing is not 100% okay.
> I think that most people would not care if a video is posted online of them if the video is in fact fake.
I think most people would care a lot. After all, it doesn't matter if it's fake or not, if matters if anyone you care about thinks it's real. And some almost certainly will.
Have you asked the people this happened to or are you just making assumptions? It’s important to critically examine our own biases in things like this, particularly if we have no idea why something evokes a strong emotional reaction.
Now why does it make a difference if the video is real or not? It's still a video of a nude body with your face on it.
