I’m so glad I’m not growing up in this age of smartphones, social media, and bullshit generators. Life was hell enough in the 90s without all that noise.

    This is a misleading headline. The survey question asked if you know any friends OR CLASSMATES who have generated AI nudes. If just one kid in a large school generates AI nudes and a lot of other kids find out about it, then those kids will answer yes on this survey. So this statistic doesn’t do a good job of indicating exactly how widespread this is.

      Still, even assuming Rumor mill inflation drives this down by a factor of 10, and we slash it down, there are a handful of kids probably doing this, which isn’t surprising, bit is extremely upsetting.

      The whole premise of the survey is absurd. Almost no one would actually admit to using it, so we’re multiplying a super small ratio of admittance by a super large ratio of acquaintance and assuming the two cancel which is almost certainly not true.

      It’s all speculation, the only way to know how many people are using these things is by website visit analytics which these companies would never give away (for free).
