Thank you. About 5 months.Nice, how long have you been doing AI? Welcome to BHW by the way
Yeah
, you can Google this exact expression "Chun-li Realistic Pie" there's a few posts already showing up for reddit. Then, click on my reddit's profile, and you'll see some other characters there. There's suggestive stuff and very nsfw stuff.There's also X ("@realisticpie") or even, on Google, "Realistic Pie Chun-Li X".
Note: the images there, although they're undoubtedly good (I invite you to take a look at them and see for yourself), are NOT the level I'm currently am. They were generated a few months ago, when I was getting intermediate. That's why I'm sharing them for free on Reddit. Currently, I'll generate whoever in whatever position, and you won't be able to tell it's AI :') . I'm waiting to get a little bigger to share that work, as I feel I the beginning, with compromised reach, it is not worth to share the best.
I'm going to give my two cents on this, as someone who was directly impacted by it, and immediately lost his monetization source right away, even though I was generating anime and video game characters, so was affected unjustly by the reasoning behind that restriction:
This is the trend in every social media. I wanted to open a Fansly and a FanVue account to post my work on, contacted support explaining my niche (hyper realistic NSFW images of anime and video game characters) and they straight up denied permission (specifically, they said I would be failing the verification step), as realistic AI work is allowed only if depicting a real person who has given explicit consent through a legal form.
They didn't expand on this, but I know the reason why. Just imagine this: you, as client, commission work depicting someone you know in an explicit, compromising composition to me. At my level, people can't tell if the generated image is real or not. Imagine you share that photo with that subject's social circle... BAAAMM ! Their reputation is destroyed! Just like that! Exact same thing as an explicit real photo of that person gets up being shared in their social circle. Reputation destroyed. That can be really harmful. Imagine doing that to a classmate you don't like... You would destroy their school's life (and, by expansion, their life).
I have had to refuse commissions of people asking me explicit photos of their crushes. People were giving me photos from their crushes' social media and asking me to generate them in sexual poses. At first, I wouldn't mind doing so (as I perfectly can do it in a way that no one would be able to tell it were not real), but then I realized that reputation and social lives can be destroyed that way, if the photos were used with ill-intent. So I cancelled my commissions, gave the money back, refused to share the results and deleted all the photos I was asked for.
So, if there's a group of people who could complain about this, that group would be the creators in my niche: we're clearly generating immediately recognizable fictional characters , which we zealously identify. However, our techniques could be used to cause great harm if applied to real people. Give me three photos of you, or your sister, or wife or daughter and I'll generated a photo of any of you being impaled by a guy from BLACKED straight up the "back door". I'll make it so real and amateur-like, that anybody who sees it thinks it were taken through a smartphone camera. Then it's shared on your social circle. Not cool if you're the subject being BLACKED, is it? :/
But, anyway, I understand your frustration. I currently I'm limited in monetizing options because of it. You either go to a low-convertion platform or (as I'm thinking about doing) Patreon (redirect paid users to) > Discord and share work ONLY on Discord instead of Patreon. I'm also thinking about a new business model. I'll report back in two months regarding it. Fortunately, I'm still VERY new to all this, and have too little following to complain about losses .
