This is messed up tbh. Using AI to undress people—especially kids—shouldn’t even be technically possible, let alone.
I feel like our relationship to it is also quite messed.
AI doesn't actually undress people, it just draws a naked body. It's an artistic representation, not an X-ray. You're not getting actual nudes in this process, and AI has no clue how the person looks like naked.
Now, such images can be used to blackmail people, because again, our culture didn't quite catch up with the fact that every nude image can absolutely be AI-generated fake. When it does, however, I fully expect creators of such things to be seen as odd creeps spreading their fantasies around and any nude imagery to be seen as fake by default.
Idk, calling it ‘art’ feels like a reach. At the end of the day, it’s using someone’s real face for stuff they never agreed to. Fake or not, that’s still a massive violation of privacy.
