Ban Gimp too. And any MS Paint clone.

And pencils. Any mediocre artist can deduce the anatomy of everyone under the clothes.

It’s the AI laziness that is most insulting. If someone wants to imagine me naked they better draw it themselves.

Is this a real take? You don’t see a difference between an app that allows anyone to transform a picture of someone into a convincing nude within seconds with no skill boundary, and MS paint?

Take any woman head, use PS on any porn snapshot, use the clone tool, now you have a crude approximation. PS or Gimp skills = near zero.

The resulting image holds zero power compared to a realistic deepfake. A drawing or a crude photoshop is obviously artificial.

A deepfake can be used to blackmail, ruin someone’s reputation, or deeply unsettle them. The power of an artificial image along those dimensions scales exactly with how convincing it is.

An app that can generate convincing deepfakes quickly, cheaply, and easily is essentially a weapon.
