How to Know If You’re Buying Real Human Nudity… or Artificial Intelligence Porn
From videotapes to Web 1.0, pornographers have always been technology pioneers, so it’s no wonder they are pioneers in using artificial intelligence to sell sex. According to a recent article in Rolling Stone magazine , enterprising obscenity dealers are using AI to create computer simulations of women to sell them “naked”.
Claudia, the creation of a pair of computer science students using Stable Diffusion , has been posting on Reddit for the past three months. She doesn’t exist, but she shares nude photos, posts about her sexual interests and responds to comments – everything a real person can do to sell nude photos. Judging by the enthusiastic comments, it works for many. This particular female robot appears to have been created as an experiment, but its creators report that they made over $100 selling pictures of her before other Redditors exposed the hoax.
How many other AI creations impersonate real people is unknown. The technology isn’t advanced enough to make this gimmick entirely plausible, but the time is fast approaching for it to happen. While OnlyFans , the web’s leading adult content subscription service, has a rigorous verification process that will likely weed out AI, sites like Reddit don’t, so there’s no reliable way to accurately determine whether an online the model you are aiming for is not. It’s actually a car (not that there’s anything wrong with that). But there are some clues you can look for.
Check out the comments section
Before starting an online relationship with a nude model, check her message history for comments from other users calling her. You may not have enough time to carefully examine a nude photo to recognize it as AI-generated, but someone else will probably do it, and the long history of online controversy makes it likely that someone has already called a fake a fake. .
check background
At present, AI imaging technology is advanced enough to create images of human faces that can fool many people most of the time – you can checkwhich face is real and check yourself to see what I mean – but it’s not so good at filling in the details in the background of photos. AI photo backgrounds tend to look like texture or details that don’t make sense – posters with “text” captions that aren’t text, areas that look painted, etc.
To get around this, AI-generated people are often presented with blurry or relatively featureless backgrounds. Take a look at this photo of Claudia : the walls of her undecorated room and featureless TV scream “AI.” Notice how the corners of the wall don’t really meet, and the furniture with the TV appears to be connected to the floor.
“Too perfect” look
Computer generated images may have a glossy “uncanny valley” look. Many AI images smooth things out in an unnatural, inhuman way. The skin is completely free from stains. The hair looks dyed, not brushed.
It’s a little tricky because photo filters used on real people can do the same thing, but there’s still a fake “vibe” in AI images that should make you think twice about whether they’re depicting a real person.
Asymmetry, proportions and hands
Humans are not 100% symmetrical, but we tend to be asymmetrical in recognizable forms. AI people often make mistakes that don’t make sense: the eye is too big or a different color than the other eye, too many teeth, too big feet.
AI imaging tends to have a particularly difficult time with hands, often creating images with too many or too few fingers, or unnaturally long or short fingers. A pair of glasses can be a win-win because they can be depicted not as a material object, but as dissolving into someone’s face. The same goes for earrings – they often don’t match in AI images. Hair may be styled in an unnatural way or grow out of places that are not normally there. It’s all about the small details.
Use AI detection software
If you want to really examine the reality of your internet love before sending them obscenity money, use counterfeit checking software. V7 Labs has a Chrome extension you can download that scans profile pictures for signs of artificial intelligence.
You may have to learn to accept it
Claudia, a fake e-girl from Reddit, is pretty gross in terms of AI images, but still good enough to fool at least some users. These types of fakes will become more and more sophisticated, so in the future there will probably be no way to tell who is real and who was made up by artificial intelligence.
On the positive side, you will eventually be able to create your own personal e-girls and e-boys and more, exactly to your tastes. Whether knowing they don’t really exist will affect your “enjoyment” of them is another, more philosophical question.
