I’ve seen a start of a disturbing trend (edit: on twitter) where people have been using AI to generate or modify sexualise/d images of idols and to add to this the idols I’ve seen this done too are on the younger side of adulthood 19 and 18 respectively. And have never done such shoots (or not too the extent the images went too) so them being comfortable with such imagery is comf.
The specific cases in question being the Hanjinpics affair (the fan picture account for Hanjin from TWS was posting AI generated images of Hanjin and the one that was that got them cancelled was a suggestive pool shot) and the recent modified photos of Woojin Y magazine shoot (an account posted AI modified photos of Woojin from the photoshoot which made him shirtless).
Now regardless of the question of sexualisation the use of AI to generate images of idols they did not agree too is honestly an ethical nightmare that I feel we should collectively do our bit to prevent.
So I implore everyone if you see something where fans say it is not real do your part regardless of fandom to report it so it can be taken down and post the no AI generated image so no one is fooled.
If we all do our part to shun such behaviour people will be less likely to post such things. Together we can prevent the dystopian future this could create, protect idols and help make the internet just that little bit better.
If it isn’t real, report it.
