While surfing the web I've come across images of celebrities (mostly women), AI generated images, many of them in compromising positions and many with little or no clothes on.
My question is how is this "art" allowed, someone is using AI to create, in many cases, convincingly realistic nudes of women, celebrities that can be seen in films an on tv.
Is this sort of thing covered by the 1A or is there so much of it (and yes there seems to be a great deal of it), that it cannot be stopped.
I cannot imagine that some of these young women would actually approve of images of themselves, in positions that seem to show them bearing everything God gave them.
It's a weird thing but I suppose it's just one of those things that folks take for granted now.
Have a great day everyone.
“I can’t even visualize how that’s done”
The AI is trained to do this. Basically for a “deepfake” video they will start with two different videos (could be many more than two, but let’s keep it simple).
There is a base video that you want to alter. Say it’s a video of a woman eating an ice cream sunday, so we can keep it clean. Then you have a video of a celebrity doing something different, but with enough similar movements that the AI can collect images from the right angles and facial expressions. The AI will study that second video and then try to “paste” the face of the celebrity on to the face of the woman in the other video. The AI is doing this very roughly at first, frame by frame, trying to select the closest angle/facial expression from the second video to match the face of the woman in the first video. Keep in mind that the base AI has already been trained before this to recognize human faces and facial features like eyes, noses, mouths, etc.
After the AI makes that first pass, then a human being has to evaluate the results. Some frames will match very closely. Some not so much. Some will be horribly wrong. So the human basically rates those to give the AI feedback so it knows where it needs to go back and make changes. And that cycle continues until the human is happy with the results. And even after that, the human will probably go in frame by frame to do manual edits to clean up the final result.

Nope.
That does not work.
I need links and pics to be sure !!

You seem to jump down some strange rabbit holes...
People have been photo-shopping celebrity faces onto other bodies for many years.
Nothing new.
This has been going on for a long time.

Is louiswu actually Michael Ries?
Here is a link to AI generated images of people.

Just keep refreshing the page to see a new face.
Michael Ries is going to thank you for driving traffic to his website.
This is actually a clickbait message and should be deleted by the moderator. Michael Ries is the poster and there is no AI stuff at his website.
Not really. The First Amendment guarantees that you can speak out against the government without recourse. Everything else was from very loose interpretation.
“And that cycle continues until the human is happy with the results. And even after that, the human will probably go in frame by frame to do manual edits to clean up the final result.”
But it’s important to note that in a good machine learning implementation, the AI will learn from each and every one of the human edits (providing these are fed back into the system), and the next time the human edits might not be needed unless it is a different (novel) situation.
Thanks; that kind of helps.
I did a search for “How does AI work?”, and got hundreds of articles, different AI software to use to create it, AI types, and some of the many types of AI models, for starting points.
It was all baffling, at first.
I bookmarked everything in Opera, and took a 2hr nap.
After some coffee, I’ll go back to it, with a different outlook.
I tend to check domain names with whois.com because one can glean information as to evaluate sincerity or lack thereof. Even when registrar privacy is invoked, as nameserver info can also indicate where a server is hosted. This is not to dox, but to examine “who is” when possible. Not just for this message, but for a variety of messages. Promoting one’s self through this marvelous forum seems rather a cheap shot. Ditto with daily promotion of one monetized site or YouTube channel.
Try watching this video, it shows how one group of youtubers used deepfake technology to replace the face of a Tom Cruise impersonator with a deepfake of the actual Tom Cruise. I think this will probably make the process a bit clearer than stumbling through websites:

“Everything else was from very loose interpretation.”
Whether you like the interpretations or not is irrelevant though; they do have the weight of the law.
“Michael Ries is going to thank you for driving traffic to his website.” Not my intent at all. Like I said, it’s an old portfolio site, don’t click it, click it I don’t care about that.
