As text-to-image generators become easy to build, use and customize, AI-generated porn communities are burgeoning on Reddit. But these synthetic sexual photos are built on non-consensual images of real people, experts say.
“I feel like with Reddit, you can kind of push the envelope a little bit with what's acceptable in a way that you can't on other platforms.”While Reddit claims to not display ads against or monetize mature content on its site, experts say that allowing mature content on the site, artificial or real, draws more users to the platform and drives engagement.
One such AI image generator PornJourney was created and launched in March 2023; it charges users $15 per month to create “AI girls” who look “real and human-like,” according to its website. Tori Rousay, an advocacy manager at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation , says that most AI porn text-to-image generators like Unstable Diffusion and Porn Pen use open source models from GitHub or Hugging Face to scrape images from porn websites and social media profiles and build a database of sexually explicit images.
Deepfakes, non-consensual sexually explicit content, and generative AI porn all exist in the same pool of pornographic images that get recycled into new AI images. But it’s important to note the difference between generative AI porn, which depicts an entirely new unidentifiable person, and sexual deepfakes, where people’s faces are digitally stitched onto other people’s bodies.
