It\u2019s not certain whether this activity falls within the US legal definition of \u201cfair use\u201d\u2014an issue that\u2019s currently being litigated in several lawsuits from other types of content creators\u2014but Casper argues that even if it does, it\u2019s ethically murky for porn created by consenting adults 10 years ago to wind up in those training data sets. When people \u201chave their stuff used in a way that doesn\u2019t respect or reflect reasonable expectations that they had at that time about what they were creating and how it would be used,\u201d he says, there\u2019s \u201ca legitimate sense in which it\u2019s kind of \u2026 nonconsensual.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adult performers who started working years ago couldn\u2019t possibly have consented to AI anything; Jennifer calls AI-related risks \u201cretroactively placed.\u201d Contracts that porn actors signed before AI, adds Silverstein, might provide that \u201cthe publisher could do anything with the content using technology that now exists or here and after will be discovered.\u201d That felt more innocuous when producers were talking about the shift from VHS to DVD, because that didn\u2019t change the content itself, just the way it was conveyed. It\u2019s a far different prospect for someone to use your content to train a program to create new<\/em> content \u2026 content that could replace your work altogether.\u00a0<\/p>\n Of course, this all affects creators\u2019 bottom line\u2014not unlike the way Google\u2019s AI overviews affect revenue for online publishers who\u2019ve stopped getting clicks when people are content with just reading AI-generated summaries. Performers\u2019 \u201cconcern is \u2026 it\u2019s another way to pirate [their] content,\u201d says Rocket.\u00a0<\/p>\n After all, independent creators aren\u2019t just \u201chaving sex on camera,\u201d as the adult content creator Allie Eve Knox says. They\u2019re paying for filming equipment and location rentals, and then spending hours editing and marketing. For someone to then rip off and distort that content \u201cfor their own entertainment or financial gain,\u201d she says, \u201cfucking sucks.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n KIM HOECKELE<\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n Tanya Tate, a longtime adult content creator, tells me about another highly unsettling AI-created situation: She was recently chatting with a fan on Mynx, a sexting app, when he asked her if she knew him. She told him no, and \u201chis eyes just started watering,\u201d Tate says. He was upset because he thought she did<\/em> know him. Turns out he\u2019d sent $20,000 to a scammer who\u2019d used an AI-generated deepfake of Tate to seduce him.\u00a0<\/p>\n Several men, Tate subsequently learned, had been scammed by an AI version of her, and some of them began blaming her for their losses and posting false statements about her online. When she reported one particularly aggressive harasser to the police, they told her he was exercising his \u201cfreedom of speech,\u201d she says. Rocket, too, is familiar with situations where AI is used to take advantage of fans. \u201cThe actual content creator will get nasty emails from these people who\u2019ve been scammed,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n Other porn actors say they fear that their likenesses have been used without consent to do other things they wouldn\u2019t do. One, Octavia Red, tells me she doesn\u2019t do anal scenes, \u201cbut I\u2019m sure there\u2019s tons of deepfake anal videos of me that I didn\u2019t consent to.\u201d That could cost her, she fears, if viewers choose to watch those videos instead of subscribing to her websites. And it could cause fans to develop false expectations about what kind of porn she\u2019ll create.<\/p>\n \u201cI saw one AI creator saying, \u2018Well, AI girls will do whatever you want. They don\u2019t say no,\u2019\u201d says Rocket. \u201cThat horrifies me \u2026 especially if they\u2019re training those AI models on real people. I don\u2019t think they understand the damage to mental health or reputation that that can create. And once it\u2019s on the internet, it\u2019s there forever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n #shock #body #deepfake #porn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s not certain whether this activity falls within the US legal definition of \u201cfair use\u201d\u2014an…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10179,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[786,1062,8382,8383,7507,7566,365],"class_list":["post-10178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stories","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-body","tag-deepfake","tag-deepfake-porn","tag-llms","tag-porn","tag-shock"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Hoeckele-deepfake-01-social.jpg",1200,600,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Hoeckele-deepfake-01-social-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Hoeckele-deepfake-01-social-300x150.jpg",300,150,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Hoeckele-deepfake-01-social-768x384.jpg",640,320,true],"large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Hoeckele-deepfake-01-social-1024x512.jpg",640,320,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Hoeckele-deepfake-01-social.jpg",1200,600,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Hoeckele-deepfake-01-social.jpg",1200,600,false],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Hoeckele-deepfake-01-social-1024x512.jpg",1024,512,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Hoeckele-deepfake-01-social-540x340.jpg",540,340,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/news678.top\/?author=1"},"category_info":"Stories<\/a>","tag_info":"Stories","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10178"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10178\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wp.technologyreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Hoeckele-deepfake-02_5e2848.jpg?w=2000\")
