Why tools that generate unsolicited intimate content are dangerous: discussing the consequences for victims and society
I’ve been thinking about this after something that happened to a girl I know from college. Someone took a couple of her public photos and turned them into fake intimate images, and even though everyone eventually realized they weren’t real, the emotional damage stuck with her. She said the worst part wasn’t the images themselves, but the feeling that she’d lost control over her own identity online. It made me wonder how people deal with that kind of shock and what can be done to protect others from this happening.

I’ve seen a similar situation play out at my workplace, where someone used a tool like undresser ai without understanding the harm it could cause. They didn’t intend anything malicious, but the result still crossed boundaries and made the person involved feel violated. What struck me most was how quickly something digital can ripple through someone’s real life — anxiety, embarrassment, and all that trust being broken. I’ve tried to talk to people in my circle about being mindful with tech and how even a “joke” can genuinely hurt someone. Awareness feels like the first step, even if laws are still catching up.
