There’s a hotboy Reddit that can put anyone’s face onto a porn star using AI

Deep in the throes of Reddit’s most bizarre, wacky, and controversial subreddit communities, comes the next wave of WTF.

A subreddit called deepfakes (NSFW) is taking your and everyone else’s face and making porn out of them.

If you’ve ever wondered what fucking your favorite celebrity would be like, now you’re able to have a first hand experience through AI-created porn. The subreddit currently has over 47,000 people subscribed to it, with users posting newly crafted porn all day.

And though it’s scary that people are using this as a new means of celebrity schwapping, what’s leaving us feeling more shook is the fact that AI porn can be created for anyone at all.

The process requires a suitable scene and body from an already published porno, (which has become easier to do through a database) and replacing the face of another person on top of the body.

An article published by Motherboard calls out the users that were giving one another tips through the subreddit’s Discord chatroom, which has since been shut down.

DeepFake’s (AI-rendered fake videos) future implications:

1) If you exist on the internet, there will be a porn of you.
2) No more fear of revenge porn, since you can just claim that it’s a fake video.
3) Video evidence in court can be refuted as fake.#deepfake

Users were asking how to create pornos, the basis for creating them, and what the requirements were to do so.

“One user said that they made a ‘pretty good’ video of a girl they went to high school with, using around 380 pictures scraped from her Instagram and Facebook accounts.”

380 photos? Who has time for that? Seriously, if you’re that into her, just use your imagination.

/R/deepfakes started when Reddit user /u/deepfakes created the community. Since then, more people have hopped on the bandwagon, getting more creative with the content.

There is now a deepfakeapp, also created by user /u/deepfakeapp, who hoped to make this technology something that was available to all users, whether you have technical experience or not. He shares with Motherboard,

“I think the current version of the app is a good start, but I hope to streamline it even more in the coming days and weeks. Eventually, I want to improve it to the point where prospective users can simply select a video on their computer, download a neural network correlated to a certain face from a publicly available library, and swap the video with a different face with the press of one button.”

Others are just having fun with the app, merging faces of world leaders like Donald Trump and Angela Merkel together.

No one is safe from this. Not me, not you, not grandma.

Unfortunately, as reported by Wired, there is nothing illegal about the events taking place, and unless you’re suing for “misappropriation of images,” or “anti-defamation,” you don’t really have much say in what’s going on.

Motherboard has been in contact with the Reddit community, so we’ll see if the AI porn keeps up. In the meantime, keep your business on the low, since you never know might be lurking on your pictures, turning you into a porn star.
