"Lensa generated nudes from my childhood photos."

Through Lensa's "Magic Avatars" application, people have the possibility to create wonderful images starting from personal photographs - however, risking that the AI ​​takes it too far. Following developments involving the production of NSFW material without it being in the user's original interest, some individuals have tested the production of pornographic images through Lensa.

Although the app has a "no-nudes" policy, the Artificial Intelligence that works in the background does not have this specification very clear, as it is enough to provide it with an image quickly modified via photoshop to obtain, in exchange, a convincing photograph of the subject.

The possible repercussions of this discovery are worrying, as the production of child pornography, or changing topic, of political disinformation can end up in the hands of anyone who knows how to use the service's algorithm.
