It’s always been a big deal, it just died down as Photoshop as a tool became normalized and people became accustomed to it as a tool.

Honestly? It was kind of shitty back then and is just as shitty nowadays.

I mean, I get why people do it. But in my honest opinion, it’s still a blatant violation of that person’s dignity, at least if it’s distributed.

AI is much better. Photoshop was always a little off with size, angle, lighting, etc. Very easy to spot fakes.

Don_Dickle OP ,

Not that I watch the morons but how come it seems that the Kardashians are so fond of it?

someguy3 ,

I know nothing about the Kardashians.

Don_Dickle OP ,

Neither do I just that I see headlines of like photoshop fails when the publish pictures and it is really obvious.

In addition the the reduced skill barriers mentioned, the other side effect is the reduced time spent finding a matching photo and actually doing the work. Anyone can create it in their spare time, quickly and easily.

It was a big deal back then, too, but a lot harder to police, and a lot more obvious that they were fakes.

Gillian Anderson fakes were real fuckin popular during the time the X-Files were on the air.

EDIT: Searching for women from the time talking about the phenomenon in the 90’s is difficult because it mostly turns up… troves of fake nudes of these women. Of course.

Don_Dickle OP ,

Did any women or men fight back from having nudes of them on the new like Swift did?

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I recall women heavily disliking it back then, but I also recall that people in general viewed the internet as just full of weirdos and creeps. Internet wasn’t mainstream, by any stretch of the imagination, so I think it likely “got swept under the rug” because of a general feeling of “who cares what weirdos do online? We’re real people and we never use the internet because we have lives.

Also, fewer lawyers understood the tech at the time, or how to figure out who was producing these images, and how to prosecute them. So I’d wager that part of going after them was held back by tech-unsavvy lawyers who were like “What’s happening where and how? Dowhatnow? Can you FAX it to me?”

wildbus8979 ,

Yes plenty. Natalie Portman fakes were a big deal

Did she ever unleash her wrath like the article says…Maybe the nerd in me but never wanted to see her naked just want to see her in a Princessesque Liae outfit. IYKYK

How do you prove it’s not you in either case? Photoshop doesn’t make a whole video of you fucking a sheep. But AI can and is actively being used that way. With Photoshop it was a matter of getting ahold of the file and inspecting it. Even the best Photoshop jobs have some key tells. Artifacting, layering, all kinds of shading and lighting, how big the file is, etc.

A lifetime full of accomplishments and nobody recalls or gives you a pat on the back…

…but you get deepfaked fucking ONE sheep and no one ever forgets.

xmunk ,

Because previously if someone had the skills to get rich off the skill making convincing fake nudes we could arrest and punish them - people with similar skillsets would usually prefer more legitimate work.

Now some ass in his basement can crank them out and it’s a futile game of whack-a-mole to kill them dead.

ArbitraryValue ,

it’s a futile game of whack-a-mole

It’s still going to be futile even with this law in place. Society is going to have to get used to the fact that photo-realistic images aren’t evidence of anything (especially since the technology will keep improving).

calabast ,

It blows my mind when I think about where we might be headed with this tech. We’ve gotten SO used to the ability to communicate instantly with people far away in the technology age, how will we adapt when we have to go back 300 years and can only trust something someone tells us in person. Will we go back to local newspapers? Or can we not even trust that? Will we have public amphitheaters in busy parts of town, where people will around the news? And we can only trust these people, who have a direct chain of acquaintance all the way back to the source of the information? That seems extreme, but I dunno.

I think most likely we won’t implement extreme measures like that, to ensure we’re still getting genuine information. I think most likely we’ll just slip into completely generated false news from every source, no longer have any idea what’s really going on, but be convinced this AI thing was overblown, and have no idea we’re being controlled.

ArbitraryValue ,

I don’t think it will be quite that bad. Society worked before photography was invented and now we have cryptographic ways to make sure you’re really talking to the person you think you’re talking to.

If it’s a game of whack-your-hog, however, deepfakes aren’t futile at all.

i think its 'barrier to entry'

photoshop took skills that not everyone has/had keeping the volume low.

these new generators require zero skill or technical ability so anyone can do it

Toes ,

Have you tried to get consistent goal orientated results from these ai tools.

To reliably generate a person you need to configure many components, fiddle with the prompts and constantly tweak.

To do this well in my eyes is a fair bit harder than learning how to use the magic wand in Photoshop.

dojan ,
@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, inpainting isn’t particularly hard to make use of. There are also tools specifically for the purpose of generating “deepfake” nudes. The barrier for entry is much, much lower.

You could also just find the promps online and paste them in.

When Photoshop first appeared, image manipulations that would seem obvious and amateurish by today’s standards were considered very convincing—the level of skill needed to fool large numbers of people didn’t increase until people became more familiar with the technology. I suspect the same process will play out with AI images—in a few years people will be much more experienced at spotting them, and making a convincing fake will take as much effort as it now does in Photoshop.

Scale also, you can create nudes of everyone on Earth in a fraction of the time it would take with Photoshop. All for the lowly cost of electricity.

14th_cylon ,

so anyone can do it

so anyone can do it and the victim can be your neighbor next door, not some celebrity, where you can internally normalize it with “well, it is a price of fame”

unfortunately, this list is only going to grow: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_suicides_attributed_to…

Gigasser ,

Ehhhh, I like to think that eventually society will adapt to this. When everyone has nudes, nobody has nudes.

kent_eh ,

You might think so, but I don’t hold as much hope.

Not with the rise of holier than thou moral crusaders who try to slutshame anyone who shows any amount of skin.

simple ,

Because now teenagers can do it with very little effort whereas before it at least required a lot of time and skill
