Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or unwilling to enforce their policies about who can buy ads on their platforms.

While parent company Meta’s Ad Library, which archives ads on its platforms, who paid for them, and where and when they were posted, shows that the company has taken down several of these ads previously, many ads that explicitly invited users to create nudes and some ad buyers were up until I reached out to Meta for comment. Some of these ads were for the best known nonconsensual “undress” or “nudify” services on the internet.

    Intersting how we can “undress any girl” but I have not seen a tool to “undress any boy” yet. 😐

    I don’t know what it says about people developing those tools. (I know, in fact)

      Make one :P

      Then I suspect you’ll find the answer is money. The ones for women simply just make more money.

      You probably don’t need them. You can get these photos without even trying. Is a bit of a problem really.

      You probably can with the same inpainting stable diffusion tools, it’s just not as heavily advertised.

      Probably because the demand is not big or visible enough to make the development worth it, yet.

      You don’t need to make fake nudes of guys - you can just ask. Hell, they’ll probably send you one even without asking.

      In general women aren’t interested in that anyway and gay guys don’t need it because, again, you can just ask.

        This is simultaneously a gross generalization and strangely accurate and I hate you for it

      What it says is that there isn’t any demand for seeing boys naked. We simply look worse because we fucked up evolution.
