I fully understand this girl and I wish her well but this is a genie that left a bottle that it will never again get back in to, I'm afraid

    Push it on to credit card processors, webhost operators, domain registrars etc proceeds of crime.

    Edit: they are getting money from somewhere to run the computers these models run on.

    There is no way back on that.

    I can run these models on my local machine. It's not even a complex model.

    This lawsuit is targeting the profiteers because that's the only reasonable recourse for an individual.

    The criminal side of things is something a prosecutor needs to handle. Making this a priority becomes a political situation because it requires specific resources.

    Maybe we need to start pointing out it didn't make people naked, it just fits a naked body it saw in training under the person's head. It's Photoshop but faster.

    Not exactly. Head swaps have been a thing for a while.

    These models match the body shape. They are essentially peeling back the layers of clothing. The thinner those layers the more accurate it can be.

    Right, and the people disseminating and hosting the tools tailored to criminal harassment should be held accountable, and the people hosting the resulting images. All of these people have their own revenue that can and should be disrupted.

    they’re not really tailored to that… also, it wasn’t hard to photoshop naked pictures that long ago.
    but now these “tools” are neural net models… there are thousands of them hosted on dozens of source code repositories… and like op said, you can run it on any high end gaming gpu.
    you can’t outlaw source code like that.
    you could sue this one app maker and try to require that they prove consent and detect underage photos… totally a good idea, but it would do little to stop it…
    they’ll just use a different app
    i think they could prosecute the other people making and distributing the pictures though.

    I don’t want credit card processor being the judge of what I can spend my money on or domain registrars being the judge of what websites I can visit.

    The person who did a crime should be taken to court and all the intermediaries should have the excuse of being neutral.

    We can push this so far underground that the only people who use this are 4chan creeps on the dark web, we cant destroy AI but we can push it to the fringes

    No you cannot, not really.

    There are hundreds of open and freely available nudifying apps out there that you can run yourself. Even if you get then off the internet, which you can't, they'll still be out there and they'll still be improved.

    That genie is long gone, it should simply never have been a thing to begin with. I think it's also the lesser of evils that will be coming from AI, unfortunately, so there is that too.

    You can try to make these apps harder to get but that mostly will hide visibility, not availability nor the use either.

    Most humans want to see all other humans naked, and we prohibit that. There is a huge market, the tools are there, prohibition will do exactly as much as prohibiting prostitution and alcohol, we all know how well those have worked.
