If even Grok shut down completely, it doesn't mean anything. Pandora's box is open and AI generated porn is here to stay. There are soooooooooooooooo many websites that exist just to generate deepfake nudes and AI porn. You take down one, another 100 pop up. It's a futile game of whackamole.

Even if we passed laws banning this shit, the technology that enables it to be a thing is free, open source, and can very easily be modified to do precisely this. Anybody can run these models locally at any time, and nobody can do a thing about it. Basically what I'm trying to say is that we're cooked.

I agree.

It's fine if people want to get mad about it, but it's more effective to just learn to live with it because it's not going away.

I mean, yeah, but it's one thing if some perv's running it on their own box after reading 5 guides vs. elon musk having a tiwtter bot that does it for you without even trying to stop it from doing that even after knowing it's doing it. the former is unavoidable, the latter is a choice he's made for some fucking reason

I mean agree that we should prevent it in such obvious cases like this, I was just making the point that this is going to be a very persistent issue.
