Julia, 21, has received fake nude photos of herself generated by artificial intelligence. The phenomenon is exploding.

"I'd already heard about deepfakes and deepnudes (...) but I wasn't really aware of it until it happened to me. It was a slightly anecdotal event that happened in other people's lives, but it wouldn't happen in mine", thought Julia, a 21-year-old Belgian marketing student and semi-professional model.

At the end of September 2023, she received an email from an anonymous author. Subject: "Realistic? "We wonder which photo would best resemble you", she reads.

Attached were five photos of her.

In the original content, posted on her social networks, Julia poses dressed. In front of her eyes are the same photos. Only this time, Julia is completely naked.

Julia has never posed naked. She never took these photos. The Belgian model realises that she has been the victim of a deepfake.

This is going to be a serious issue in the future - either society changes and these things are going to be accepted or these kind of generating ai models have to be banned. But that's still not going to be a "security" against it...

I also think we have to come up with digital watermarks that are easy to use...

We gotta ban photo editing software too. Shit, we gotta ban computers entirely. Shit, now we have to ban electricity.

It's not a serious issue at all.

Of course, if you're the kind of greedy/lazy person who wants to make money off of pictures of their body, you're going to have to find a real job.

Honestly, I see it as kinda freeing. Now people don't have to worry about nudes leaking any more, since you can just say they're fake. Somebody starts sending around deepfakes of me? OK, whatever, weirdo, it's not real.

Poison the well is how we free ourselves from the vastness of the digital landscape that encompasses us. Make all data worthless.

I'm guessing it's easier to feel that way if your name is Justin.

If it was Justine, you might have issues.

Weird how that works.

Fair enough. Ideally it would be the same for women too, but we're not there as a society yet.

Such an empty response. Do you know that women have to do things on dates out of fear of being killed? Literally they have a rational fear of being killed by their male dates and it’s a commonly known and accepted fear that many women relate.

Society moving forward is a nice idea, women feeling safe is much better one and attitudes like yours are part of the reason women generally do not feel safe. Deepfakes are not freeing at all.

No joke, stop dating shitty men.

I get that's too difficult for a lot of them, though.
