A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create an AI-generated pornographic image of anyone in the world for as little as $10 if users send them pictures of that person. Like many other Telegram communities and users producing nonconsensual AI-generated sexual images, this user creates fake nude images of celebrities, including images of minors in swimsuits, but is particularly notable because it plainly and openly shows one of the most severe harms of generative AI tools: easily creating nonconsensual pornography of ordinary people.

In one of the chat rooms in this Telegram channel, titled “IRL Fakes,” the person who creates the images posts real photographs of people, seemingly taken from their social media profiles, alongside their AI-generated porn. It appears the Telegram user does this both to prove their ability to offer this service to potential customers, and to humiliate the women being targeted.
