What I find sketchy is that it is not easy to find out who is behind this service. The norm is an about us or a link to a parent site. Briefly skimmed the legalese (ToS & Privacy) and still not clear who these people or where they operate from. The linkedin link shows 8 people working there, mostly in BD from outside the US. I don't think there is a nefarious purpose going on, i.e. getting people to sign up and steal…

It's also prominently asking you to upload a picture of your face along the rest of the controls

You can upload any face.

Here's Kurt Cobain in a universe where he gets a regular office job, goes to gym, and never starts a grunge band...

> Thanks to our advanced AI algorithms, you won’t tell generated humans from real people If the images posted are the best they can do, then i have some bad news from them

The demo pictures have this sort of "uncanny valley" effect for me. I wonder if it happens when I don't know that the pictures are AI-generated.

Real AI imagegen workflows very often have more input from the human creating the image than a text prompt.

Textures, sample images, something like that?

ControlNet offers a wide variety of additional input sources: https://stable-diffusion-art.com/controlnet/#Preprocessors_a...

Yeah, this was my first attempt: https://generated.photos/human-generator/64e648819c8c0400088... Not quite right. I am, however, impressed that the fingers are generally "mostly" correct.

my first attempt created some kind of gym monster lol https://generated.photos/human-generator/64e64a2f412bec0009b...

This cured my depression.

Why's that bad? Should every URL be doxxable?

Doxxing refers to private individuals not companies and organizations.

In Germany for example every commercial website (which is defined very broadly and applies to most websites) is by law required to have an imprint listing the person/org responsible for the website and how to contact them (an e-mail address is not good enoguh). This means you can go to any German business website and get the full address, EU VAT ID and registration number of that company.

Under the GDPR more broadly (which also affects foreign companies offering services to EU residents) every company is required by law to have a privacy policy and that policy must include whom to contact for concerns and requests regarding personal data of the user/visitor and who (which legal entity) processes and stores the data.

This is the opposite of doxxing. It protects private individuals by making transparent to them who they are interfacing with and who holds their data. This is necessary for informed consent.

Sidenote: the website/app's cookie notice is pointless as it's using the same "redirect to google.com if user says no" logic porn sites used to do (do they still do this?) for age checks. The app also works without accepting the terms, so either it can work without accepting them or (more likely) it doesn't actually wait for the user's consent. Either way it doesn't do anything and doesn't comply with any privacy laws I'm aware of that would require it.

So this is a fit Icelandic, adult, woman: https://generated.photos/human-generator/64e6ff848448b800095... Radiation levels??

Now I’m wondering if AI is going to result in new fetishes. “You’ve heard of foot fetishists? Well, Brian only gets off to women with feet for hands.”

It could be an attempt at entrapment by a hostile foreign power attempting to get blackmail material on western engineers by tricking people into accidentally viewing CSAM, and then leveraging that to try to turn western engineers into unwilling foreign agents by blackmailing them with the threat of turning them in to law enforcement and/or ruining their marriage. I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory but this…

Call it sitedoxxing then or urldoxxing.

It's the same attack, to deanonymize, to hunt people down from the internet because you don't like what they say or do.

Germany is the only country in the world with that Impresseum policy because of it's highly leagalistic Prussian background, and you would find that many in the hacking community (e.g. CCC) take huge issue with it
