Lonely men on Reddit tricked into paying for nude images of a busty AI-generated woman
>
Lonely men on Reddit were tricked into buying nude photos of what they thought was a “gorgeous” woman, only to find out that the black-haired girl was AI-generated.
A user named ‘Claudia’ posted images of scandal on the platform and offered to send nude photos to anyone who private messaged her – but for the right price.
Several users jumped at the opportunity — one offered to pay for her nude photos and another asked the AI out, noting that they earn a six-figure salary.
The lovesick Redditor’s dreams were shattered when news spread that two computer science students had created their dream girl.
The duo created the ‘u/Cl4ud14’ account to see if digital images can fool people and told Rolling Stone that they made $100 off the AI nudes before being summoned.
One image of Claudia was a simple selfie captioned “Feeling pretty today.” The post had over 200 comments, many praising her beauty. But one comment called the image because it was AI generated
A Reddit account shared explicit images of a woman with dark black hair. The user’s name was Claudia and she offered nude photos for a price
Claudia was created by Stable Diffusion, an AI program that creates realistic photos using simple text prompts.
In Claudia’s case, the creators told the system to take a selfie of a woman in her home “no makeup with black hair, shoulder-length hair, simple background, straight hair, hair bangs.”
The students took their experiment to the next level with explicit posts describing Claudia’s sexual escapades, including her first time having anal sex, using butt plugs, and pleasuring men.
Her sultry posts caught the attention of other users who were eager to read about her experience and hear more.

A day later, user MeysterA posted, “For those who don’t know, I’m going to kill your fantasy.
“This is literally an AI creation; if you’ve worked with AI image models long enough and made your own, you know 10,000%. Sorry to spoil the surprise, I guess.’
But this was after hundreds of comments adoring Claudia for her good looks.
MrAllGood247 posted, “You are absolutely gorgeous!! Will be a great trophy wife one day.”
Claudia was created with an AI program that generates images using text prompts, but her creators wanted to see how easily people could be fooled
A Reddit user, “legalbeagle1966,” told the Washington Post that they felt “a little cheated” after discovering Claudia was fake.
They had commented on her picture that she looked “pretty sexy and perfect.”
However, if you dive into this person’s past comments, you’ll see comments about a lot of nudes floating around Reddit.
After MeysterA ripped off Claudia’s mask, other Redditors chimed in and demanded to see her hands.
Image-generating AI systems fail to mimic the human hand, as most images show humans with more than five digits or less.
Other AI experts noticed strange background details and blotches in bizarre places – all signs of digital images.

And another user seemed to be in love with the beauty of the AI
Stability AI, the London start-up behind Stable Diffusion, prohibits users from posting “obscene, lewd, lascivious, offensive [and] pornographic’ images with its technology.
But since Stable Diffusion is available to the public, the company cannot monitor how the tool is used.
Claudia may have been a silly experiment for two college students, but the technology is being used in sickening ways.
MailOnline reported in February that pedophiles are using AI to generate realistic indecent images of children – before sharing them on social media with other perverts.
The creators continued the experiment by responding to some comments
User MeysterA posted this comment a day after Claudia shared the selfie on Reddit
Abusers have taken advantage of the latest image generation software to fulfill their twisted fantasies, MailOnline can reveal.
And in some cases, perverts have gone further and experimented with “deepfake” technology to paste the faces of real youths and child actors onto nude bodies created by a computer AI, authorities say.
The revelation shocked campaigners and sparked calls from child abuse charities for an urgent government response, urging Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA) to investigate how sex predators are using new technology.
MailOnline understands that images are mainly distributed via Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
Perverts also set up groups on the instant messaging apps Telegram and WhatsApp to “swap” photos, while others use TikTok – a social media platform popular with children.
