I believe "Image Inpainting for Irregular Holes Using Partial Convolutions" has been superseded by "Free-Form Image Inpainting with Gated Convolution", especially for interactive use cases? https://arxiv.org/pdf/1806.03589.pdf http://jiahuiyu.com/deepfill2/ I think the most interesting part of this project would be generating the dataset. That is a lot of manual redrawing of vaginas/penises. Or the reverse, where you…

Hentai is censored only for the Japanese marked, because it is a legal obligation. When it is exported, the uncensored version is normally used. So you just need to find both versions in order to make your dataset. Add the large amount of decensored artwork and it is not that hard to build a huge dataset. It may even be automatable by parsing imageboards.

If only because censored only hentai is popular that someone came up with this idea. I'm not a hentai expert by any means but I'd imagine a lot of hentai is never exported and so no uncensored version is ever published.

It will vary by country. In a lot of Europe and the US the content will still be illegal. In Japan it won’t be. At some point the issue is going to come down to what you want to spend manpower and money fighting, people who actually endanger and harm children, or people who use computers to emulate it. It might not be a very clear cut thing though, because I frankly wouldn’t be shocked to find out that the overlap be…

But how would you outlaw it? A neural network is simply a set of coefficients, would certain coefficient combinations be illegal? It's an interesting question. PS: I am obviously against child pornography, I'm just curious about the implications of being able to generate illegal content and how governments would deal with it.

The famous ruling "I dont know what pornography is, but I know it when I see it"

I predict that the porn industry will be the first industry to suffer mass unemployment due to AI. Phase I: Deep learning combined with realistic physics simulation will eventually replace human actors. At some point amateurs can record their movements, then use variational autoencoders to improve their features (bigger boobs, thinner waist, smooth skin) and replace professionals. This is 'Uber phase' for porn and dr…

Porn has always been the earliest adopters of technology. While porn actors may be individually replaced by deep agents, actual porn sales will do fine, especially since extremely targeted pornography will be in everyone's budget.

A market for verifiable human pornography will exist alongside the new porn.

Also, have we already dubbed virtual ML pornography "deep throat"?

This is genius. Give the network a bunch of photos with a persons' face censored (donald trump, for example). What would it replace the face with?

What would it replace the face with?

Judging by the examples, correctly-coloured yet featureless skin.

I wonder what will happen when neural networks can generate illegal content, like child pornography.

> Reply edit It’s already outlawed. In the US for example pornographic drawings of children are outlawed. In the same way it’s illegal to try and sell cocaine stimulants, it’s illegal to try and sell child pornography simulations.

I thought it was deep fakes?

Finally, a use case for Deep Neural Networks that we actually need as a society!

I wouldn't say need per se, since this is something that can and has been done in other ways already, but it's at least a use case with positive, rather than negative, value.
