Police have uncovered "Deep Fake" molka chatrooms of Korean female idols and celebrities on Telegram.

While investigating Cho's controversial "Nth Room" and "Baksa" rooms, police discovered secret telegram rooms exclusively for adult "Deep Fake" molka materials, where users share photos and videos of celebrities.

Police found four exclusive "Adult Deep Fake" rooms with photos and videos of female idol singers shared by 2,000 members. These rooms are managed differently than "Nth Rooms" where users joined the chatroom by invite only through cryptocurrency.

The most crowded chatroom titled "Ver. 4" contained at least 500 female idol deep fakes and was opened on the 13th. Another room "Ver. 3" has been open for about 9 months since June last year.

You think you can’t be anymore upset then you get another twist. Hell can’t come soon enough

Is this where innocent Roy Kim found and sent that misjudged text message where he said "it isn't that celebrity."

Poor, falsely accused man, I wonder how he knew it was fake? Eddie Kim too, men are always so misjudged. We really shouldn't judge books by their covers, or men by their friends/chatrooms/browser history.

deepfakes are one of the scariest things about the modern world imo

it's easy to go against the "technology is bad" mindset but now that this tech exists, what can we possibly do to prevent it from being misused? it seems impossible. anyone can be a victim.

Yeah, there doesn't seem to be any positive use for it.

what's a deep fake? i don't really want to google it in case it's something really gross...

High quality photoshopped nudes. They look super real, it's ridiculous how much energy they spend creating them.

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

what's really ridiculous is that most of the work is done by AI, so they don't even have to put in much effort anymore. it's so easy to do and that's scary.

=( that's so gross. Im so sorry to everyone that has to go through this and anyone who has gotten away with things by using this as an excuse

It’s not just photos either, whole videos exist starring kpop idols :(

If what I saw on Twitter is true it includes some ITZY members

omg. these have been around forever. I remember them in the Harry Potter fandom. ew. What is wrong with people?

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

it's the use of AI to make an extremely realistic face-swap (and sometimes voice-swap) so you can use it to, say, replace a porn actor's face with someone else's, and you've just made convincing "porn" of them.

here's an example of the tech being used to create a fake barack obama speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ54GDm1eL0

tha'ts a little bit horrifying. those filters/photoshop things that you can put on a live stream is so creepy

I'm out of empathy, understanding and flexibility. I want every one of these users, creators and perpetrators DEAD.
