In the last week or so, 10 out of the 25 most popular cameos using my face are various fetishes, including one where I’m a centaur-woman pregnant with octoplets. It’s not just me, either. I’ve seen this kind of content made with cameos of other women: female creators, another woman tech reporter, and a female employee of a prominent venture-capital firm.
**I don’t get why anyone is surprised **
This isn’t a woman complaining about people getting creative with her face, it’s a report on her experience with Sora.
One of the key points stated at the beginning was:
Although nudity or sexual content is banned, I discovered people making fetish content with my face.
Which opens the question about what, exactly, someone is consenting to when they allow other people to use their face, and what’s considered pornographic.
She went on to say users were making underage fetish content and potentially pornographic material anyway. This is a problem with any AI generated content and why so many stable diffusion platforms have banned words and groups of terms, if they don’t flat out ban all sexual terms. But, since the apps use real language, it’s impossible to think of every possible route to an end. The terms of service and moderation try to plug the holes, but they can’t be 100% effective.
I’ve allowed anyone to make “cameos” using my face. (You don’t have to do this: You can choose settings that make your likeness private, or open to just your friends — but I figured, why not? …)
Maybe because of this shit? A learning experience, I guess.
If an option exists that nobody should ever choose, why is it an option? In what situation would this option ever make sense?
In a situation where someone doesn’t understand the implications and a corporation can make money of their misfortune. That pretty much describes most of social media.
Love this bit
But there is something different and unsettling here: It’s people being able to use my face (easily) to create content for potential sexual gratification without my consent.
But she did consent when she allowed people to use her face. I’m not saying what those people are doing with it are morally right but she consented when she clicked the box allowing cameos.
