A bit off-topic, but it just hit me that I'd never thought of this before. I'm sure everyone has a favorite old photo or model they've never seen in a video – or at By the way, what do you think about this from a copyright standpoint? If de-mosaiced videos can be published, what about these?
Absolutely, there are quite a few old favs that I would like to "cast" into a fantasy JAV (project that I'm dreaming about).
But absolutely it's a big problem to take the likeness of someone alive or dead and fabricate AI porn. It's not just a problem of copyright, it's a form of sexual harassment.
By the way you are absolutely wrong about "de-mosaiced" JAV. The fact that Japan gov, JAV industry and JAV idols are unable to stop the de-mosaiced JAV being pirated almost from the first day of legit release, doesn't mean JAV idols are not hurt by it.
Imagine my mother, my sister, my daughter having her face in an AI porn, even if it's clearly labeled as AI fabricated, we would be very unhappy about it.
The thing is, there's absolutely no reason to directly use their likeness, or at least the likeness of one specific idol, we (hopefully) can feed a bunch of photos or vids from our fav contents and have AI generate a mash-up that capture the quality of what tickle us (I mean me, personally, because that's the whole point of doing AI gen, the down side is it's fake, but the up side is we can (hope to) generate something that's very specific to my personal specific fantasy.
Actually I think I will add this to the prompt when I ask AI to generate characters: make sure to make the character distinct from any well-known persons.
Thing is, regarding your copyright question, I'd imagine it is against copyright but so long as it isn't being sold or widely distributed for anyone that matters to take notice...not a problem? Definitely safe to do just to entertain ourselves I suppose
I feel that at least I'd like to share within the small community of Akiba Online right? But I think it's already *problematic*. Unfortunately there will always be people who gets off on seeing some specific celeb in some kind of nude/sex content. But for myself, as much I enjoyed many current and past idols (Maria Ozawa, Yuma Asami, Takako Kitahara, Yua Mikami, Shion Utsunomiya (Rion), Asahi Mizuno, Julia...
Isn't it just so much safer to generate a mash-up idol who looks kind of like them but not exactly like any one of them?
