Horrible Streamer Deepfake Situation

[@kidnamedfinger3958]

Deep fakes in general are a very scary concept because they have gotten so realistic. Even getting away from the sexual stuff, deep fakes can still ruin someone’s mental and reputation with how real they have gotten. What is extra scary is how good some private tts companies have gotten at copying peoples voices

I discovered I was deepfaked from this whole situation, and honestly even though I'm hurt I also feel for the sex workers who had their work stolen too. Both me and those SW who they put my face onto were sexually exploited and sold without our consent by someone we don't even know. Thanks for covering the situation, hopefully more people with be careful to make sure all of the sexual material they use was consensual.

I was very innocent in high school. I never taken a nude or even made out with anyone. Never sexted. Yet, there were multiple people that were convinced I sent someone a nude. Turns out, it was some other girl that looked similar to me. The guy lied about who sent it. I have no idea why. It is an awful feeling to be judged for sending out sexual content when you never have. It is such a violation. I couldn't imagine being in the situation as the streamers. What they are going through is in a much larger scale. Truly horrific.

this shouldn't be a 'ugh this is so weird' situation publishing or selling ai deepfake porn should be illegal, a legitimate punishable offense

[@DARTHJETER]

How about making all porn illegal

[@Raptorworld22]

It shouldn't be illegal to publish it as long as it is very clearly marked as deepfaked and not real. If everyone knows its just an edited image then it's no different than creepy fanart, it's when everyone's convinced it's real that it's a problem.

[@cargyllion]

@@Raptorworld22 No, it's currently classified as revenge porn in the areas it's currently banned, and I think this is a fair classification. There's a few reasons this is the case: 1.) Well-made deepfakes are indistinguishable from real photographs, and this is being further solidified by Dreambooth technology. It's worth noting that CP "art" gets charged as actual possession if it's modeled after real children or is too realistic. 2.) "If everyone knows it's just an edited image" requires every single point on the distribution pipeline to clearly mark the image/video as deepfake. This origin can wind up obscured or lost, either accidentally or intentionally, resulting in people believing it's real. 3.) The intent of deepfake porn is to obtain sexual content of someone who hasn't produced that content. You are bypassing their willingness to take naked photos or record videos of them having sex 4.) This is a thing men don't really understand, but most women are straight up HORRIFIED by the prospect of being seen nude by people they aren't intimate with. I for one had an incident where an ex landlord put a camera in my bathroom, and 6 years later I still have severe anxiety and trust issues from it. 5.) A common victim-blaming tactic men have towards women who have their nudes leaked is "You shouldn't have taken them." With deepfake porn, a person's choice to have nude photos exist of them is completely removed. 6.) Women have to deal with constant sexism and sexual harassment in their lives. Our ability to choose who can see us at our most intimate is one of the ONLY things we can control in that regard, and it's being taken from us.

[@Raptorworld22]

@@cargyllion 1) Didn't know that, but if this stuff really is so accurate to real life now, then I am changing my stance and agree it should be illegal. 2) I never said my idea was practical, but in a perfect world that is what would be done. 3) This point doesn't make sense to me, as it's no different than creepy fan art in that case. Do you also think we should make drawing people without consent in explicit context illegal? Actually curious what your stance is there. 4) I don't know what men you're talking to, but every man I know would be equally horrified in this context, where everyone knows/thinks it's their body and it's without their consent. 5) Isn't applicable since my original point was if *everyone knows it's fake* 6) Having been a woman for more than half of my life, I know you are talking complete BS in that first half, unless you live in Saudi Arabia. Overall, I am changing my mind and agree that this very convincing deepfake stuff should be illegal. Different opinion on fanart and terrible photoshop jobs.

[@cargyllion]

@@Raptorworld22 The current situation with Dreambooth deepfaking is that anyone with an Nvidia gpu made in the past 6 years and 20 or so images of a target individual can generate a model capable of replicating that person's appearance. It can generate you nude, in an SS uniform, wearing a Jace Beleren cosplay, whatever you want as long as you fed it reference images. And it's scary accurate. Literally the only saving grace right now is the current training models can't parse complicated tattoos and facial piercings. However, there's a large community of people working to fix these issues for the expressed purpose of generating AI porn.

Aside from the tremendously creepy aspect, it's good that you brought up how deepfake porn could potentially be damaging to the careers of the people being deepfaked. Think about it; the wrong people see something like that, like advertisers or investors, they might get fooled by it and decide to cut business ties with the people getting deepfaked. In short, just imagine your favorite content creators getting blacklisted due to sexual content that they never even produced; that's horrible.

This is a good concern, but I'm actually annoyed that companies even care so much about people having sexual content. As long as it's somewhere children won't accidentally stumble across it, there really shouldn't be a problem.

[@trentmartin7441]

Even if they aren't tricked by it personally a brand could probably be convinced to drop someone just because it exists at all especially if it gets popular enough. Real or not a brand that's promoting say kids content or trying to have a "family friendly" image may not want to be associated with that. I don't understand how it's legal anywhere given these companies should have no right to monetize your likeness anyway. Really gross situation and technology keeps advancing faster than we can plan for the ramifications of it.

[@EveTheRaviolo]

@@josephschultz3301 agreed. Here where i live, a female teacher broke up with her husband and he, as revenge, shared online some porn videos they made together (that were private, they never posted them anywhere before, it was private videos for themselves and pics he took of her naked). Turns out she got fired from working as a teacher and blacklisted from every teaching career in our country, while he only got like 5 months of picking up trash as community service for doing something illegal. AFter those 5 months he can get back with his life (of course HE isnt getting fired nor blacklisted from any working job even if he was in those videos too, only women gotta be slandered for sexual things) meanwhile her life is ruined. Some idiots still insist on defending him and blaming her. Our country had a lot of protests about this.

@@llama6394 current law, sort of? Best example is with the old man “hide the pain Harold” or whatever that meme’s name is. His image, especially for those photos, are under copyright like any other stock image. So we do know that memes can be under copyright and can’t be used for profit or undermine other’s work. There’s also celebrities suing games, animated shows, etc. for using their likeness without their knowledge. However those are higher profiles figures, and common streamers would have a harder time fighting that in court. There’s also AI involved in deepfakes, which we still have no laws governing, and other issues of giving streamers protection from these websites. Honestly, one of the better things to combat it might be a libel/defamation lawsuit, since this basically is faking a porn tape for someone. And that’s outright stated under defamation as an injury of character and easily would at least have a trial for it.

@Edward Deepfake porn has gotten so advanced that it's quite hard to distinguish real from fake. Without proper evidence to disprove the deepfake, it can easily be used to slander.

"consent" Do you complain about comics making fun of specific people? They certainly don't get "consent" to rail on about people. This is so delusional, because it assumes that these celebrities are actually being affected (exploited!!) by the deepfake industry. I like how everyone has just ignored that this has literally flown under the radar until this weird incident by a streamer. So much proof of it having a real tangible affect on celebrities in general that it took a random giant streamer to have clicked on an ad to suddenly bring this to internet wide attention. There is real criticisms to be had like the companies labeling the porn as REAL!!! and it being charged for, IE, making money off of someones likeness/copyright without their consent, but the idea that porn deepfakes are inherently themselves *evil* is actual karen behavior. These do not have actual effects on anyone, except in the small exclusive cases of direct blackmail, and even THAT situation is bullshit because there's also tech that detects deepfakes that is constantly evolving alongside AI tech, so any faked blackmail is usually very quickly detected as fake and thrown out. Charlies example of "muh companies pull the trigger like winnie hut junior" is not a problem of deepfakes, but companies being pussies, and one that should be ironed out. I'm sure a few cases of potential "leaks" turning out to be fake resulting in triggerhappy companies looking like dumbasses will curb this behavior.

thank you for talking about this aspect of the issue. I've seen so many absolutely horrible takes of people saying "its not their bodies" "normal people would get over it in a week theyre upset for clout" "its weird and creepy but not harmful" and its absolutely infuriating so hopefully some people will see this and understand the gravity of whats been done. Like Charlie said: imagine you posted a selfie once in your life and now someone took that and put it on a body--not some animated 3D thing, a real convincing looking body--thats not yours and is its doing something extremely pornographic. A full sex tape. Now imagine your parents have seen it. Your friends. Your significant other. Your kids if you have them. Your boss and all your coworkers. If someone looks for your name that video comes up. People might ask you to do porn or say explicit things to you now. You are treated differently. All of this, completely without your knowledge or consent, just because someone thought your selfie was hot and felt entitled to make porn of you to sell for a profit and for their own pleasure. Edit: I want to clarify that the example I used here is a hyperbole that I only used to try and help relate the situation to a more "normal" level. It takes much more than a selfie to replicate and deepfake a face so I don't want anyone to panic or be fearful, that was never my intention and I'm sorry if it came off that way. I was simply hoping to provide that perspective to help some people who might not fully grasp how seriously this can harm someone who doesn't do sexual content and did not consent to it

@@freelancerthe2561 I dont think its nearly as violating if someone makes pornographic content of my made up character than if they would slap my actual face on porn for all the world to see. Thats just how I feel about it, I talked to a handful of my vtuber friends and they feel the same way.

[@Danny2k34]

​@@hazeharbinger Lets be real, most Vtuber's already have hand-drawn full blown porn out there on the internet for people to see. That was made without their consent, but does anyone care, nah because they are pixels and mean nothing to that Vtuber. The downside is though, when people actively go looking for that type of content, they will then view that same vtuber in a different way because of what they've seen. Vtubers not having any real identity makes them even more of a target to make porn out of because they are not real and all you have to do is go to any hentai website, type any vtuber name in and you'll see that vtuber in any and all fetish imaginable. Very nice art though! They really put a lot of effort into the details.

[@hazeharbinger]

@@Danny2k34 Yeah there is a lot of pornographic content about most vtubers just like any other fictional character who gets loads of porn. Its not comparable to this situation at all cuz of the distance between the actual streamer and the character, which is not as big for face streamers. Thats why I said its a good time being a VTuber because I dont have to worry about this stuff.

Being able to manipulate a persons image is crazy. Tons of fake blackmail potential.

[@captainmycaptain8334]

@@crypticslayer69 the issue isnt any of us being gullible its other people that dont know its fake, you can say its fake but the tech is so good it wouldnt convince everyone, look at the state of the media now where obviously doctored/staged shit ends up making the news and dividing people, can you imagine stuff that isnt so obvious. Not to mention the population of gen x and boomers who believe everything they fucking see on fb and twitter. trying to convince them its fake would be like trying to convince a fish to crawl out the water

@Dawn A mistake can be something you've done deliberately, saying that it was a mistake does not on its own minimize the seriousness of the act.

You turning this video from the "Fault of Atrioc" to "The Bigger Issue at Hand" is a very smart way of tackling this. Hopefully something can get done about this, whether it be more regulation or something.

[@SagaciousTv]

This genuinely scares the shit out of me where it’ll be in another 10 years. The Snapchat crying filter is already wild enough. Once this becomes widespread and people are able to use it maliciously. The future is really quite scary

[@AVI-lh6rm]

The ramifications of this are gut-wrenching. Just one tech-savvy person can ruin someone's entire life over something they didn't do. Even Inside Edition did a report on something like this. A student had a video deepfaked of her vaping and the video was sent all over including to her parents, just because the student was a cheerleader and some other cheerleader didn't like her. It's unfathomable, to have one's life ruined over something they never even thought of doing, it could be anything, porn, a crime, anything compromising or embarrassing really. I just can't put this into words.

@@SagaciousTv Ok. Any random person can kill anyone as well. What im trying to say is that things like these are preventable. We can prevent them by making them illegal and severely punishing people who commit them . Just like murder, assault and pretty much anything else.

@Ted Haidydei Good luck. Piracy is illegal, yet its still widespread and goes unpunished.

[@Imaproshaman7]

This is very well said. Thank you for covering this so well. People need to understand this but I know that some people won't understand it and it sucks. I think people really don't see streamers as people and it's scary. Someone could make something fake about you that's hard to disprove, and it could ruin your whole life. I feel like there's going to be court cases about this in the future. People shame people for having OnlyFans but then seek out this? I think they don't want to admit that they want things like this. And much less admit that they have a problem. Time will tell.
