Background: the original Lena picture comes from the Playboy Magazine, and the model doesn't want people to use it. https://pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/it-s-time-to-retire-...

Didn’t realize the model doesn’t want people using it. That holds more weight in my mind than the fact that it was in playboy.

Yes, this definitely changes things. Previously the model didn't seem to be bothered and seemed to find it all quite amusing.

People change their minds and we should respect their wishes.

First why not Lenard and Second, the picture (the short one) shows her hair and ceiling and not her breasts. And Third but minor complaint, if we look at the "Full" picture i at least "want" to see his butt.

It’s true. Imagery comparison is highly dependent on butts.

It's all about the lights and "well" rounded "objects". But a bavarian belly could do the job as well.

Dude, it's literally porn. This is not hard.

Really? Presumably she was paid.

I don't know what the copyright situation is, but assuming she doesn't hold that I don't know what the issue is.

Isn't it like trump objecting to images of his in court accompanying a news item?

So we're swapping the possibly problematic ethics of a original with the possibly problematic ethics of showing this to people? I mean is it normal to find that mustache and hat combo this attractive, (as a hetero male)???

How is this image ethically problematic?

I think in order to be used in image tech, it shouldn't be shipped as PNG, even with lossless compression. It should be BMP, ideally with the PBM, PGM and PPM formats too.

Not sure how serious this is, though. :/

I mean, rendering fingers and butts are things we need the AI to improve in.
