It is sad that nudity is so stigmatized in the general population that this even worthwhile. Unfortunately it can lead right into the sexual activity fakes. Good post, Thanks!
The fix, in theory, would be easy - to not let nudity - whether real or fake - have that kind of power to shame. In practice, it’s a much harder goal to attain, but yes, naturists and nudists and nude-friendly people of all kinds lead the way in showing how to get there!
Very interesting article Evan. Just today, we were informed by a friend that their daughter’s football coach was arrested for using AI to create nude photos of underage girls and put them online in the dark web. His daughter was one of them.
And then we see a sitting president post a fake AI video of a former president being arrested. There are evil people in the world.
These aren’t just isolated incidents. They represent two of the most dangerous faces of AI abuse. The sexual exploitation of images without consent. And the political manipulation of reality for personal gain. This is what AI can do now… and it’s only getting easier to misuse.
Today, any image or video you’ve ever shared… even fully clothed, family-friendly, and entirely innocent, can now be stripped of your clothing by AI. A beach photo. A summer hike. A birthday party video. If you’re in it, someone can now make a fake version of you nude, and no one else may know the difference.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a naturist, a public figure, or just someone who posted a happy vacation memory on Instagram. AI doesn’t need your consent to undress you.
This is the very thing naturists have spent years fighting against. The idea that nudity can be stolen, sexualized, or used as a weapon. And now, thanks to AI, the tools to do that are sitting in people’s pockets.
But... we’ve also been thinking about this from a nudism or naturism perspective. And we can’t help but wonder: Could this scary technology accidentally free some people from the fear of being seen nude?
If anyone can have a fake nude made of them, whether they’re naturists or not, then what exactly is anyone hiding from anymore? The threat isn’t what you’ve actually done. The threat now comes from what someone else can fabricate.
And suddenly, simply being open about your real-life naturism... starts to seem a lot less risky.
I saw a TV documentary that included an investigation of nudifying software. A sinister side to it is that if you try to nudify a picture of a man then, likely as not, it will give him a female body. The software has been developed specifically to abuse women

People even use #naturist #nudist when they have swimsuits on
