       | 
       | EDIT: I can foresee a dark future where surveillance video is
       | monetized for such salacious purpose and it becomes inescapable
       | as the cameras are everywhere.

       | decade, but never before has their creation (& thus volume) been

       | CivitAI will tell you all you need to know about how prolific
       | this problem is.

       | IMO it is only a matter of time before this same issue comes to
       | the forefront in the US (I'm kinda surprised it hasn't already
       | become a bigger topic). I could easily see custom celeb
       | LORAs/emmbeddings and realistic SD/SDXL checkpoints being banned
       | outright for this reason. Yes, it _would_ be an infringement on
       | free speech, but weighed against the interests  & safety of the
       | public, the courts might see a move like that as reasonable.

         | realistic images with only one reference photo these days...

           | It's that or we will come to accept some level of societal
           | degradation due to the abuse/misuse of AI tools becoming
           | normalized.
