Non-consensual porn images and videos, filmed by groups now facing legal action, can live on forever in machine learning datasets used to create deepfake porn
It is painful to read about how victims of algorithmic image abuse blame themselves for believing exploitative lies, ie that their videos would be kept on DVD in private collections, rather than endlessly re-shared online & co-opted as training material for #deepfake porn (1/4) h…
we spent months researching the origins of machine learning datasets used for AI porn, and found that they're often full of non-consensual videos. new from @emanuelmaiberg @AKoslerova and I: https://www.vice.com/...
this person decided to shut the project down last night, but he was already doing mental gymnastics trying to justify the ethics of the thing. “There is no such thing as ethical use of an AI that uses database images without consent.” — @ruchowdh https://www.vice.com/...
this “finders keepers” attitude of entitlement in the experimentation on women's images is repeated over and over—deepfakes, deepnude, AI porn, stealing content from sex workers. if I could count the times I've heard this stuff from men... https://www.vice.com/... https://twitter…
In which I talk about ethical AI-generated porn: https://www.vice.com/... But seriously, there's nothing wrong using AI to make porn, but WHY do this based on exploitation and abuse? Thoughtful piece by @samleecole
