Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps (www.404media.co)

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or unwilling to enforce their policies about who can buy ads on their platforms.

While parent company Meta’s Ad Library, which archives ads on its platforms, who paid for them, and where and when they were posted, shows that the company has taken down several of these ads previously, many ads that explicitly invited users to create nudes and some ad buyers were up until I reached out to Meta for comment. Some of these ads were for the best known nonconsensual “undress” or “nudify” services on the internet.

Is there such a thing as a consensual undressing app? Seems redundant

I guess it's really in whether you use it with consent. I used one on my own picture just to see how it worked. It gave me huge tits but other than that was scarily accurate.

Neat. Ladies only or does it do dudes too?

I'm a dude, it's just a clever name. It'll do dudes, it's just gonna give you huge tits. What you're into is, of course, your business.

My interest in this topic just went from 0 to 10 upon realizing the humour potential of passing it around to see all my bros with huge tits, but only if it worked like a Snapchat filter.

Also I have a friend who already has huge tits, and I've seen them IRL so I'm curious what it would do

Being serious for a moment, it depends on the source image. If it can tell where the contours of the tits are in the source image, they'll be closer to the right size and shape - otherwise it's going to find something it thinks are the contours and map out tits that match those, then generic torso that matches the shape of where it thinks the torso is and skintone of the face. It's not magic, it's just automating what a horndog with photoshop, a photo of you and a big enough porn collection to find someone with a similar body type could do back in the 90s.

I'm familiar with how ML works so it's not magic to me either, but the actual result is what would intrigue me. Since she has big naturals obviously they hang pretty heavy when they're set free.

But if I fed it a picture of her wearing a tight push-up bra, which could easily give off the impression that she had implants, would I get a pair of bolt-ons back? Or would it be able to pick up on the signs of real tits and add some sag?

Seeing how it'll put tits on men it's obviously not an exact science lol
