It's easier than ever to de-censor videos

Japanese porn is being "decensored" with AI as we speak, in fact. It looks a tad uncanny, still, but finding a "decensored" clip in the wild was quite the thing for me a couple of weeks ago.

This is a completely different process — the AI is inferencing what goes there, it isn't actually using any information from the pixels so it wouldn't work in this case.

Not to mention deeply and disturbingly unethical

So let me get this straight: Porn can be ethical - selling your nude features online can be ethical - doing the activities in porn consensually can be ethical - pleasuring yourself on other people doing so can be ethical - but using AI to infer nude features is "disturbingly unethical"?

>but using AI to infer nude features is "disturbingly unethical"?

If it is against the wishes of the people in the video, yes, yes it is.

E: Never thought I'd see the day I'm downvoted for saying un-blurring porn of people who made porn under the assumption that it would be blurred (and may not have made that same decision without that context) is unethical, on HN of all places, but times are strange I guess.
