A mother and her 14-year-old daughter are advocating for better protections for victims after AI-generated nude images of the teen and other female classmates were circulated at a high school in New Jersey.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, officials are investigating an incident involving a teenage boy who allegedly used artificial intelligence to create and distribute similar images of other students – also teen girls - that attend a high school in suburban Seattle, Washington.

The disturbing cases have put a spotlight yet again on explicit AI-generated material that overwhelmingly harms women and children and is booming online at an unprecedented rate. According to an analysis by independent researcher Genevieve Oh that was shared with The Associated Press, more than 143,000 new deepfake videos were posted online this year, which surpasses every other year combined.

    In previous generations the kid making fake porn of their classmates was not a well liked kid. Is that reversed now? On the basis of quality of tech?

      That kid that doodles is creepy. But deep fakes probably feel a lot closer to actual nudes.

      Oooh that’s bad. Yeah I would never do that but I did hear about the idea floating around back in the day, though I don’t think the tech is there yet. It’s just generally not cool

          Yeah it sucks bro, but honestly I feel like it just means more people can just chat about porno and have a laugh, and honestly be coy, rather than play
