Regardless, after Vice’s story went up, the DeepNudes website got enough traffic to crash the site, and the creator, who was seemingly worried his product was unethical to begin with, decided to take it down. There’s absolutely no way that fake images can be made illegal. More than one has been struck down in the courts. Here’s the thing: I’m not sure a single law against posting actual nude pictures of people, the so-called “revenge porn” laws, has been able to pass constitutional muster.

And, our legislators are going to have to think about how to thoughtfully regulate in this space.” “In addition, social media platforms are going to have to think more carefully about how to define and enforce rules surrounding this content. “We are going to have to get better at detecting deepfakes, and academics and researchers are going to have to think more critically about how to better safeguard their technological advances so that they do not get weaponized and used in unintended and harmful ways,” Farid said. Farid was shocked at this development, and the ease at which it can be done. Motherboard showed the DeepNude application to Hany Farid, a computer-science professor at UC Berkeley who has become a widely-cited expert on the digital forensics of deepfakes. Some idiot in the House of Representatives even went so far as to propose a law requiring deepfake videos to have watermarks, something that can’t possibly be constitutional.

I will never be able to get over the reaction to this technology which, as I’ve mentioned, Hollywood has had for like ten years. This is different from earlier use of the deepfake technology because that was used to replace faces in videos leaving bodies in tact. Okay, let’s dial it back, this is basically a party trick.īasically, this is a Windows app where you feed it a photo and it uses its AI to remove the clothing, something people have been doing with photoshop for decades. That didn’t stop Vice from running with the headline “ This Horrifying App Undresses a Photo of Any Woman With a Single Click.” The secret was you weren’t really seeing anyone naked, and you’re not really seeing a naked picture with DeepNude. Vice reported on this yesterday, and they way over-reacted to what is essentially a digital version of the X-Ray specs you used to be able to buy in the back of comic books for a quarter. Yes, DeepFakes, the AI-created headswap videos now have a companion, an easy-to-use app that takes a picture of a woman (it only works with women) wearing clothes and turns it into a picture of her not wearing clothes. Deepfakes are back, everybody freak out! This is not a drill, you need to panic about the decline of western civilization.
