> 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 first image i generated was worse than that A mermaid with plastic looking skin, and badly rendered ocean water in background. https://generated.photos/human-generator/64d6dde03af7f90007c...

It nailed the pose, though.

I know that currently AI is the hot topic, but if you want to generate pictures of well-known objects like humans, why not just render a 3D model of a human? Something like Poser (the software) is way more efficient than any GAN or diffusion model. But Poser is 28 years old now, I guess it doesn't attract sweet VC money.

This exists! https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/metahuman

Woah, that’s insane. I had no idea mo-cap was so low-effort already.

> “If you want to use images produced by Human Generator in commercial projects, contact us.” If there is no copyright in AI-generated images, then how can they possibly enforce this?

Legal consequences of using photos of identifiable people are not limited by copyright[1]. For example, it is quite easy to assume that photos from this service will be used for political defamation, among other things.

How could they enforce it? For example, by embedding a steganographic tag, by which human rights activists will be able to identify the author of the picture.

I get that most of these are hilarious (this is my favorite comment on HN in some time, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37239909 ). But still, I find this incredibly frightening. These are only going to get better. Does anyone doubt that in a couple years time (if that) we'll be able to put the image of any known public person into whatever generated photo we want, which would be indistinguishable from reality?…

> My only hope is that this extreme enshittification of online images will make people completely lose trust in anything they see online, to the point where we actually start spending time outside again.

I'm in full-bore accelerationist agreement with this point. Defense lawyers must love this.

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 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…

> I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory

Yes but why North Korea? This sounds like US 3 letter propaganda from a decade ago

It would be China looking to Exfiltrate IP/Data as that data war has already begun. See : Azure keys.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You’re suggesting that perhaps allowing people to explore an urge that should be fought and suppressed might dissuade them from pushing that urge further resulting in real-world action? Fascinating, do tell me more. Blatant disregard for children aside, the larger issue here is the presupposition that we should someone permit all urges. Not every thought that passes through your brain should be “explored”; some thing…

Not suggesting either, just putting forward a hypothetical possibility. The idea of using AI to generate kiddy porn is off-putting to me in the extreme, and I can think of plenty of reasons why it's almost certainly a bad idea to permit it, but I'd be wary of relying primarily on my instinctual aversion to it to be so certain it should be banned outright.

While I agree it’s probably a good idea to avoid instinctual aversion in many things, I believe some things in life are too sacred to rely on “data”. Some things we just know to be true, and have to trust that whatever story data might tell isn’t a story we’re interested in.

Keep in mind that science can tell any story you want it to tell as long as you interpret the data in the way you need. That’s why some things, such as our children, cannot be left to slippery slopes such as this.

We’ve already got more than enough data proving that pornography is absolutely destructive and a net negative on all of humanity. I don’t think we need additional data to prove that bringing kids into the mix would somehow make it better.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Looking at the poses, it feels optimized for generating porn, but one example someone showed had a child's face (good god please don't let your "AI" system generate child anything if you want to sell it for porn purposes), and another user noted that their attempt error'd out because it "detected nudity", even though other users get given a nude model by default.

An AI-generated image is just a drawing, not a real human.

In Canada, CP drawings are illegal (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_pornography_laws_in_Ca...)

What datasets do people use for applications like these?

Seems like you'd want huge amounts of photos of people (abundant publicly, though not necessarily free for use) with huge amounts of tagging for assorted clothes, body styles, accessories, nationalities, scene types (arduous?).
