Two computer science students have offered deceptively real nude photos of a young woman for sale on Reddit, which were generated using an AI program – with success. The technical possibility of generating artificial erotic models could also affect OnlyFans.
College students post erotic photos of female AI on Reddit
At least since the hype surrounding so-called deepfakes, which are montages of images or videos of faces on other people's bodies, the general public has also become aware of the level of technical progress in the field of 'artificial intelligence. The latest case, in which two computer science students used AI to create erotic photos of a fictional young woman, also shows this impressively.
How Rolling stone reported, said the students used the AI program Stable Diffusion, which uses machine learning technology to generate deceptively real images. They then posted some of the nude pics on various subreddits like r/Faces.
The female AI model, whom they named Claudia, was a selfie of a neighbor with long dark hair – without makeup in front of a sterile background. The software didn't need any more information to create nude photos of an artificial person that can hardly be distinguished from photos of real people.
AI models at OnlyFans : will they soon replace the real adult stars?
Many users thought the AI nude photos on Reddit were real
As the reactions of Reddit users show, the difference between fact and fiction is often only marginal. So many people actually thought the naked AI images were real.
For example, one user commented, “You look very pretty today. Another wrote: “You are beautiful. And a third gushed: “You are just beautiful. »
However, the fake was not hidden from all Reddit users. "Looks like AI is generated", "I don't want to deprive anyone of the illusion, but it's literally a product of AI" or "So beautiful, you'd think it was real" were some- some of the reactions of users who have not been fooled.
The student duo behind the fictional Claudia explained their motivations to Rolling Stone: “You can see that this whole narrative was just a test of whether you can fool people with AI images. »
Whatever one thinks of the campaign, they have undoubtedly succeeded in this project. And even in monetary terms, it was worth it for them. After all, they were able to earn a total of $100 selling the AI woman's erotic photos.

Naked photos via AI are also an option for OnlyFans ?
The two students no longer sell nude AI photos. Yet her project made it clear – whether buyers knew the woman in the photos wasn't real or not – that there was a market for fictional adult models.
A discovery that, for example, content creators on OnlyFans could use for themselves by having erotic photos of themselves generated in a very short time using an AI program without much effort.
However, AI technology also poses a danger to creators on platforms like OnlyFans.Finally, it is quite conceivable that the demand for real models will decrease and they will be completely replaced by their artificial counterparts as soon as the AI programs are even more mature and there is really no more discernible difference between reality and fiction. A vision of the future that must certainly also be discussed from an ethical point of view.
