I feel like the cat is way out of the bag on this. Stable diffusion can be run locally. Hugging Face has over 15,000 models labelled with text to image generation.

I'm sure there will be (or already are) Trump and Biden Loras.

Dont even need them. Theyre such big names that theyre already baked into the base model.

If not the two of them are so public that it would take a bad actor no time at all to train one.

What do you need, 20 pics.

Just looked that up, it's amazing stuff.

I guess it's a matter of increasing the friction to making one. This will slightly decrease the number of them?

Or they just don't want to be associated with it

But that's not necessary a better thing to do then. It might decrease awareness on the ease of generating fake images for the general public 🙁
