We're talking about (mr)deepfakes. Which is visual art, yes. Nude visual art.
That's kinda the point. The nudity is what makes it immediately not okay.
If you just deepfake someones face onto Jason Stathams body, they will probably enjoy and laugh about it.
If you deepfake their face onto someone who's getting roughly f*cked in the ass, they might not like it that much.
But then again, not just nudity is wrong. Deepfaking someones face into a video to hurt them is wrong as well.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I really think that AI Ethics should be pushed harder and more seriously.
If someone deepfakes their favorite actresses head into a porn video, I still think that it's wrong. What I would appreciate is if I can at least agree with this person, that what they're doing is not 100% okay.
Yes you do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights
You don't need consent from anyone depicted in visual art to make visual art. It literally has nothing to do with them.
I see no moral, ethical, or consent issue with deepfakes whatsoever. People are allowed to make whatever sort of CGI they can imagine, and, most critically: they should be.
