I was out a bit of the whole thing for a bit and started getting into the newest stuff again since a few days here and there and the development jump from just a few months ago is kinda crazy tbh. Feels kind of like computers some 30 years ago where there was no telling what things would be available in two years.
Also coomers man, I think they drive most of this. I've seen convincing nudes on civitai and reddit where if shown in a blind test, I would not be able to tell you if these are real photos (albeit photoshopped to airbrush etc.) or AI generated. This was not a thing a few months ago, nor was it possible. It's a completely unregulated frontier but somehow I start to think it won't stay that way for long. I'm convinced we're at a point where you could for example generate photo-realistic child porn that'd stand up to some scrutiny. (Frankly, I'd be surprised if people don't already make such) Yet it is generated. What does that mean legally? These are things that are gonna be decided in courts in the next years and I wonder what the impact will be. (Also very apropos to the early computer and internet times where "the law" basically didn't understand that stuff and you could get away with *a lot*)
