I'm not sure why this got downvoted into oblivion. Even if you don't agree, it's not some outrageous drag on the discourse to suggest that "maybe this is inevitable, and we have to get used to it." After all, we've gotten used to a million things as a society that Puritans said would ruin us and destroy the fabric of our lives, our families, our relationships, etc etc. I'm sure it's pretty shitty to have nudes of you passed around at school, but the fact remains that this tech isn't going away, and it does seem rather likely that being able to create nudes/pornos of anyone trivially will eventually diminish the impact of them to the point of near insignificance. If you know you can just type in "getnudes.io" or something and upload a couple pictures and get a full-blown porno of someone in seconds, then there's going to be pornos of everyone that anyone is interested in. To misquote The Incredibles, if everyone is nude, nobody is.

The first sentence of the parent is a highly sarcastic/exaggerated snipe.

It's an emotionally charged topic, so the up and downvotes are going to be flying around everywhere. Yours is probably the most practical response. The technology isn't going away, and in all likelihood it is going to get more and more refined and better, faster than we think. It's conceivable that in 5-10 years, there will exist software that anyone can run on a commodity PC or phone, that produces high-definition media of any target person doing or saying anything that the software user can dream up. The technology isn't just going to disappear. So it's up to society to figure out how it is going to deal with that reality. Asking me what I would think if someone produced an AI nude porno of me or one of my family is irrelevant. If someone for wanted to make it, it would get made regardless of what anybody thought about it. So how do we respond?
