  1. I don’t know what else you wanna wait for, but if this is not the time to delete any social media accounts, go after all your pictures online and try to remove them as good as possible, then what else are you waiting for?

    Technically, the use of AI to harm ANYTHING/EVERYTHING has just begun since AI use itself has essentially just begun.

  3. Guess yall weren’t in the internet since.. 

    Well ever.  Ai makes this shit easier but it’s been around since bulletin board.  And photoshop made it more realistic.  4chan popularized a place for assholes to meet post share. 

  4. Let’s be clear here. This has been happening a very long time.

    The thing AI brings is the ability for talentless fucks to do it. And there are a lot of talentless fucks on this planet.

    AI commoditises social harm. That should be the headline.

    What about everyone else?

    If you think this is only going to affect women then I hope no man ever stands up for you.

    Patriarchy harms women, and is played out through individual actions. AI isn’t intrinsically harming women. Blaming AI is side stepping the real issue, because society doesn’t want to address it.

    Deadass not women alone, even if they are at a much higher risk.

    **Everybody** should be concerned as fuck about this.

    “The performance of it is really important there, and really shows the misogynistic undertones of it, trying to punish or silence women. That also has a cascading effect on democratic norms and women’s role in society.”

  9. An interesting thing to me. This campaign seems sexist. I have yet to see a single headline saying men are threatened by this. Why is AI being used to show men naked not a concern?
