Chatbot roleplay and image generator platform SecretDesires.ai left cloud storage containers of nearly two million of images and videos exposed, including photos and full names of women from social media, at their workplaces, graduating from universities, taking selfies on vacation, and more.
So this is really gross obviously but the question of should it be illegal, and if so, where is the line, is going to be an interesting one moving forward. Getting an AI to draw a naked picture of someone for you is illegal? Comissioning an artist to draw a naked picture? What if it’s just an original character who “happens to look like x person”? Learning to draw and making one yourself? Does it involve disseminatation vs personal use? If you make a nude picture of someone else but no one ever knows does it even matter? What if you have legal rights to their image? Would not want to be a lawyer involved in that field in the future, oof.
If it is public it should be illegal,
If you do it privately, it should not be illegal.
edit: and i think any other stance on this issue would litteraly just be oppression and the actual loss of freedom
Realistically if its private no one will know about it anyway. IIRC the UK goes with private is also illegal and the realistic reason for that is so that if its leaked and you have it they don’t need to prove that it was you who leaked it and “i was hacked though!” isn’t a valid defence.
i mean i get the idea, but i dont agree with it. It like saying “its fine aslong as you dont get caught”
That’s kinda how the law works in general. If you don’t get caught you don’t get punished, because how could you be punished if nobody knows you did something illegal?
