Someone used an algorithm to paste the face of 'Wonder Woman' star Gal Gadot onto a porn video, and the implications are terrifying.

There's a video of Gal Gadot having sex with her stepbrother on the internet. But it's not really Gadot's body, and it's barely her own face. It's an approximation, face-swapped to look like she's performing in an existing incest-themed porn video.

[...] Like the Adobe tool that can make people say anything, and the Face2Face algorithm that can swap a recorded video with real-time face tracking, this new type of fake porn shows that we're on the verge of living in a world where it's trivially easy to fabricate believable videos of people doing and saying things they never did. Even having sex.

[...] The ease with which someone could do this is frightening. Aside from the technical challenge, all someone would need is enough images of your face, and many of us are already creating sprawling databases of our own faces: People around the world uploaded 24 billion selfies to Google Photos in 2015-2016.

    Want to campaign for legalization, on the entirely believable premise that it would provide an outlet for people who otherwise victimize real kids?

    Many people who like such drawn porn aren't even interested in real people at all. It may be the case that a very small number of people would otherwise victimize real kids without such things, but again, it's unlikely that that group is anything but minuscule. Merely having a sexual attraction to a group of people is not an indication that you want to rape them.
