Why is that a problem, exactly?

Like what? To me this sounds like a problem with how some people want to have absolute control over what others do and want everyone else to play along. That's what I find really creepy.
Someone wants to generate porn of me fucking a donkey? Let them. They already could do that with ms-paint and I don't get magically harmed if they do.
This reminds me of the old saying: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but AI-generated/photoshopped/glued-together pictures of me fucking a donkey will never hurt me" :)
Denial does not make healthy people.
But I do believe that right now we're kinda off track. We almost venerate the act of being hurt. Everyone likes attention and nothing gets such protection by certain classes as having been offended or wronged by some other class. Social signals are currently built to display virtue and so people will go out of their way to display their support of the wronged. I _do_ believe that this is the correct direction to move from where we were, but I think it's gone a little too far and needs time to rebound.
Being a victim is the fastest way to go from zero to hero (reach millions of people) these days and it's also seemingly the least likely way to backfire. People are much more hesitant to bring up the wrongs of someone who's currently being defended for fear of ending up being placed in the out group and ostracized from the signaling group.
Mental health awareness is good. But social signals lead individuals to believing they must be hurt to be a part of the in group. Virtue through suffering is an incredibly effective signaling mechanism
Part of living is opening yourself up to people. That includes the risk of getting hurt. That's normal and part of the human experience.

The reason why revenge porn, rumours, and defamation are all possible online is because there's a level of plausibility to these things -- especially revenge porn.
Now that plausibility goes out the window because of AI generated content. Someone posts your actual nudes? Give a nervous laugh and say that AI made them.
Someone says they heard a rumour about you and asks if it's true? Say 'don't believe everything you read on the internet, you know they have AI that writes anything you want now, right?"
I'm glad this technology is finally out in the open where people like you no longer have a say in how it is used. The sooner people accept its existence (like they have with Photoshop), the better off and healthier we'll be as a society.
Do you really need someone to spell out to you why being able to create realistic-looking porn of anyone might lead to some issues...?
>Someone wants to generate porn of me fucking a donkey? Let them. They already could do that with ms-paint and I don't get magically harmed if they do.
What an absolutely wild take. Do you expect this line of thinking to be convincing when you're comparing AI-generated images to what someone can whip together in MS Paint? Come on. You, me, and everyone else reading here knows that's not even close to a valid comparison.
A less creative next generation as they don't have to close there eyes and imagine generated porn of anyone.
The second problem will be finding people that you would even want generated porn for.
Yes. I honestly have no

Wild or not, my point stands. With minimal skills, you can photoshop anyone's face on any pornographic image out there. It's a spot on comparison.
I would argue the authors went out of their way to actually make it very easy to “decensor” their model in a way that lets them wash their hands of things. So regardless of the outrage over their Puritanism, they actually have made it easier to make pornography than ever before. I don’t think applying the tiny speedbump of their model being censored by default is unreasonable in the interests of conservativism.
In the long run these men will go down in the history of pornography.
