The messaging platform Discord has taken down a channel that was being used to share and spread AI-edited pornographic videos:
Last year, a Reddit user known as "deepfakes" used machine learning to digitally edit the faces of celebrities into pornographic videos, and a new app has made the process much easier to create and spread the videos online. on Friday, chat service Discord shut down a user-created group that was spreading the videos, citing their policy against revenge porn.
Discord is a free chat platform that caters to gamers, and has a poor track record when it comes to dealing with abuse and toxic communities. After it was contacted by Business Insider, the company took down the chat group, named "deepfakes."
Discord is a Skype/TeamSpeak/Slack alternative. Here are some /r/deepfakes discussions about the Discord problem.
One take is that there is no recourse for "victims" of AI-generated porn, at least in the U.S.:
People Can Put Your Face on Porn—and the Law Can't Help You
To many vulnerable people on the internet, especially women, this looks a whole lot like the end times. "I share your sense of doom," Mary Anne Franks, who teaches First Amendment and technology law at the University of Miami Law School, and also serves as the tech and legislative policy advisor for the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative. "I think it is going to be that bad."

Didn't the Donald already bang a pornstar? Stormy Daniels. No need to fake that then. It would just be recreating some visual evidence after the fact?

The cyber nowadays is amazing, so easy to fool people. Someone sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds can do things that only NASA and the biggest Hollywood studios used to be able to do.
But it's very easy to tell which "tapes" of me are fake. If the ladies aren't SOLID 10s, it's fake. If they're 10s it's real. Unless it's Princess Diana, we never banged. We both wanted it to happen, it never did happen. So sad! The best ones always have big problems with drugs & alcohol, and die very young. But I'd love to see the "tape."

Nothing wrong with people old enough to be great-grandfathers getting it on, even with porn stars (not sure about how the wife is supoosed to feel)
But, really, it wouldn't be a turn *on*.
Well, not for me. YMMV.
