An in-depth police report obtained by 404 Media shows how a school, and then the police, investigated a wave of AI-powered “nudify” apps in a high school.
Wow I am so glad this shit wasn’t around when I was in high school. This sounds horrifying to have to deal with as a student.
The indifference of AI advocates is just apalling too. “It’s going to happen anyway, they just gotta get over it, it’s not real.”
Teens can barely get over mild perceived embarrassment, nevermind having porn replicas of them spread around, and having to deal with related harassment. I dread how that will affect them.
There was an article 2-3 months back about a small town in Spain being torn apart by this kind of thing and I braced as I knew it couldn’t be long. What a time to be a kid or parent.
Just when I get the feeling kids these days are a little more tolerant than the last generation, NOPE! “Hey Chris! Watch this 5-min long video of our teacher taking a troll cock!”
This is going to get pretty damn horrific real fast with Sora coming to general release soon. We need some restrictions and laws on the books.
-
What laws do you want?
-
How would they be enforced?
-
What practical effects would that have?
I can better explain what I don’t want out there, and we’ve already seen some pretty awful shit. This will usher in a completely new generation of CSAM, bullying, harassment, and political sabotage. It seems we should have some protections or penalties in place to cover such things.
You say what you (don’t) want and trust in the experts (IE your representatives) to get us there. That’s reasonable. Suppose no new laws are made, perhaps because the experts think that new laws would do more harm than good, would you continue to trust the experts?
-
Are current laws against harassment insufficient?
Correct. Most states’ laws do not envision the situation we are currently seeing, let alone what’s coming.
Check your state. What constitutes harassment, and can you think of harassing things that could be done without violating the law? I can for my state.
Eventually, after an investigation, police referred the case to a local prosecutor, noting that there was a probable cause to charge the student who admitted to making the photos with “Cyber Harassment.”
This is what was reported about this case.
Here is that Cyber harassment statute: https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9A.90.120
What’s missing?
Considering the restrictions they put on ChatGPT…
I’m so relieved to be an average or maybe slightly below average looking adult male with an established career. It would be hell being a teenage girl in today’s world.
Anyone have a way to get around their sign up wall? 12ft and archive didn’t work.

(That High School seems to produce a lot of news stories.)
I came to the comments hoping for the same thing.
And this is why I refuse to take part in selfie culture. Shit’s dangerous. When can we go back to the anonymous internet of yore?
