AI Software Puts Gal Gadot In Fake Porn! | What's Trending Now! - YouTube

This may look like actress Gal Gadot in this clip, but it's not.

It's just really good computer programming, making it look like she's starring in weird

stepsister porn.

We all know AI is getting better all the time, but now it's good enough to make it look like

you shot porn when you definitely did not.

VICE's Motherboard interviewed a guy on Reddit with the username deepfakes, who uses open-source

software to put the faces of celebrities on already-existing porn clips.

Do I need to get to know this guy before just assuming he's a total douche bag?

The software can use the thousands of freely available photos on Google to mimic a person's

expression.

And at first glance, it's hard to tell that it's not real.

That's right.

It's not a huge, sophisticated company with 1,000s of computers doing this work.

It's one guy with software that anyone can access.

And by "one guy," I mean - probably one creepy guy who's a douche bag, but moving on.

Because, I get you can imagine this - the possibilities of this, but actually implementing

it, and the repercussions of this type of thing... it's just... it's bad.

In the last 2 months, deepfakes has also posted fake porn clips of Scarlett Johansson, Aubrey

Plaza, Maisie Williams, and Emma Watson.

Fake celebrity nudes are nothing new, but having a learning computer mimic your facial

expressions on a porn?

That's new, and even more disturbing.

The technology isn't perfect yet.

Occasionally a box appears around the performer's face and the sound syncing isn't always great.

But experts say we're only a few months away from fake porn looking indistinguishable from

the real thing.

And that should freak all of us out!

And I wonder though if that freaks out women more than men, because women just have a different

relationship with porn overall.

Porn actress, Grace Evangeline, is not impressed with deepfakes’ work.

She told Motherboard: “One important thing that always needs to happen is consent.

Consent in private life as well as consent on film.

Creating fake sex scenes of celebrities takes away their consent.

It’s wrong.”

Could not agree more!

That's why this is a huge issue.

And, I'm sure the porn industry is pretty scared of just AI also taking over their jobs.

But, consent is the bigger issue here.

And retired porn actress Alia Janine told them: “It’s really disturbing.

It kind of shows how some men basically only see women as objects that they can manipulate

and be forced to do anything they want...

It just shows a complete lack of respect for the porn performers in the movie, and also

the female actresses.”

The technology itself is also problematic.

Most of us, including me, have hundreds of photos of ourselves online.

It's realistic to assume the software could easily be used for revenge porn.

But our gentlemen here, deepfakes, doesn't see that being an issue.

He said: “Every technology can be used with bad motivations, and it's impossible to stop

that.

The main difference is how easy [it is] to do that by everyone.

I don't think it's a bad thing for more average people [to] engage in machine learning research.”

Wow.

You're such an innovator.

You're like the Elon Musk of porn.

And not everyone online is concerned about the ethical implications, either.

Big Junior Flip said: "They putting AI heads on porn now I can’t wait for Nicki Minaj.”

Dude.

Nicki Minaj is already doing porn.

Haven't you seen Anaconda?

Frank Simpson says: "[What] episode of Black Mirror is this?"

And Nicolas Secreto says: "Oh man the swirling endless levels of both entertainment and absolute

fucking evil a technology like this has is hard to fully comprehend.

But there's no stopping technology from progressing."

Ana Valens, who wrote about the AI porn story for The Daily Dot, tweeted: "This is where

revenge porn's future lies.

It's already illegal to use copyrighted content without permission, so there's a legal basis

to fight it.

But this is the future: harassment through machine learning."

Listen.

I don't think you can stop technology from advancing and being used for different things,

but do I think this is wrong?

Yes.

Consent is consent, and there's no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

So what do you think?

Is fake AI porn wrong?
