AI is doing a lot these days. Some helpful, some downright harmful. There are people using AI to create uncensored images from real photos and are making millions of dollars from this disturbing venture. According to WIRED, some websites and Telegram bots are now offering these services. You upload a picture, pay a small fee, and get a fake undressed version back, created by AI.
Let us be clear, these images are fake, but they look real enough to cause serious harm. Victims do not even know it is happening until someone show it to them. Some have found manipulated photos of themselves circulating online, photos they never posed for. And it is not just happening quietly.
One site made over $100,000 in a single month, according to WIRED’s reporting. Another has been visited 38 million times http://indicator. That is not small. A mass misuse. These tools are trained on real adult images scraped from the internet, then used to manipulate regular photos pulled from social media. The people running these platforms often remain anonymous and collect payments through crypto, making it hard to trace them.
Meanwhile, most countries don’t have clear laws for this. Victims are left with little protection. Some tech platforms are trying to combat this issue, but enforcement is weak and slow. While lawmakers are still trying to catch up, the tools are getting faster, better, and easier to access.
This is not about celebrities or scandal. It is about privacy, consent, and how AI is being used in ways that harm real people, with barely any consequences for those doing the harm. If AI can undress someone with a few clicks and nobody is held responsible, then we have a serious problem. And we cannot ignore it just because it is uncomfortable.
