A mother and her 14-year-old daughter are advocating for better protections for victims after AI-generated nude images of the teen and other female classmates were circulated at a high school in New Jersey.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, officials are investigating an incident involving a teenage boy who allegedly used artificial intelligence to create and distribute similar images of other students – also teen girls - that attend a high school in suburban Seattle, Washington.

The disturbing cases have put a spotlight yet again on explicit AI-generated material that overwhelmingly harms women and children and is booming online at an unprecedented rate. According to an analysis by independent researcher Genevieve Oh that was shared with The Associated Press, more than 143,000 new deepfake videos were posted online this year, which surpasses every other year combined.

    I’d never heard of the Madonna-whore complex, so I looked up. According to wikipedia It’s something held by men, not women. What is your definition?

      Ask gay men. It’s certainly a thing, but I don’t think a lot of guys seriously subscribe to the thinking, we’re aware it’s a thing but from my personal experience, I would imagine that most men don’t care or prefer not to define nor judge women so quickly, it’s more like a joke of a thought experiment when you think about it.

      That’s why men can share women, but will argue over property like who drives the car, but will still spit roast a woman if they’re down for it. Also nobody knows why.
