Pornhub Bans AI-Generated �Deepfakes� Celebrity Porn

Pornhub has banned AI-generated fake celebrity porn videos, which swap
the faces of porn stars with realistic celebrity faces.

The fake, but realistic �deepfakes� videos show popular actresses such
as Emma Watson and Gal Gadot in explicit scenarios, with their faces
mapped onto porn stars� bodies using artificial intelligence.

Other videos have included Scarlett Johansson, Maisie Williams, and
Aubrey Plaza, however, Pornhub has taken a stand against the videos,
placing them in the same category of revenge porn.

On Tuesday, Pornhub claimed in a statement to Motherboard that the
fake videos count as �nonconsensual content.�

�We do not tolerate any nonconsensual content on the site and we
remove all said content as soon as we are made aware of it,� declared
a spokesman for the company. �Nonconsensual content directly violates
our TOS [terms of service] and consists of content such as revenge
porn, deepfakes or anything published without a person�s consent or permission.�

Discord and Gyfcat have also cracked down on the fake porn videos.

Despite Pornhubs statement, however, Motherboard was reportedly able
to still find dozens of deepfakes videos.

�I just found a clever way to do face-swap,� declared the programmer
behind many deepfakes videos in an interview last year. �With hundreds
of face images, I can easily generate millions of distorted images to
train the network� After that if I feed the network someone else�s
face, the network will think it�s just another distorted image and try
to make it look like the training face.�

�Every technology can be used with bad motivations, and it�s
impossible to stop that,� he continued. �The main difference is how
easy [it is] to do that by everyone. I don�t think it�s a bad thing
for more average people [to] engage in machine learning research.�
