AI nudification has democratized from targeting celebrities to harming people in users' social circles, enabled by accessible open-source tools and a tight-knit producer community that actively shares techniques.
This study analyzes 24,105 AI-generated non-consensual sexual images found on 4chan, revealing that targets have shifted from celebrities (4.7%) to everyday people (55.8%). Open-source models like Stable Diffusion power most production, while a small group of prolific creators drives the ecosystem through shared tutorials and fine-tuned models.
