Few days ago I've seen an ad for a realistic looking extra finger, you attach it to one of your other finger so that you have an extra finger sticking out. Then when someone makes real incriminating photo of you you point out that extra finger and say it's ai generated.

It's fascinating how much of a gap there is between how this is socially perceived (undressing someone) and what's actually happening (an hallucination of a naked body).

I see how this can lead to real problematic situations, but it's also so dumb, I don't think there will be any going back. I have no idea how we'll deal with this, I can't imagine we'll just accept that people have bodies and they don't need to be harrassed over it, but there must be a way and we'll find out.

At least people will be able to claim that their authentic nudes were faked.

You might as well open paint and copy the head elsewhere, it will look shopped, but who cares.

This is like complaining that if someone scribbles over a map with blue crayon that they're creating a lake and destroying property. The map is not the territory. And even more than the normal meaning of that in this case the image is really not actually a photo of the person.

The complexity of the algorithms involved in making images obscures that simple fact and enables a lot of hyperbolic nonsense and dangerous calls for use of force. There's no one being "undressed" here.

Do people have an issue with all fake nudes?

For example, there is the sculpture of a nude Brittney Spears giving birth:

(NSFW: There is nudity).

Is there a difference between that and what an AI generates?

Based on where things are at, I feel like there's legitimately no way to stop this. That said, there will be attempts to stop this, and that is something I'm almost more scared about.

What laws will be made attempting to stop what likely can't be stopped?

A bit like photoshop used to be used in the early days, but with a procedurally generated body instead of a cropped image.

FUD. Women (or any other gender) can not be undressed in a photo. Only IRL.

What these software programs do is something else entirely. They refactor the photo into something else which is not the same person in a naked state but an entirely fictional work of "art". It is analogous to posing in front of a painter fully clothed, and the painter applying anatomical knowledge and imagination to add artifacts (or even nudity) that never existed IRL.
