The platform has itself also been used to train large language models, and is now demanding payment: Reddit’s CEO Steve Huffman said in a recent interview with the New York Times that he wants Google, Microsoft and OpenAI to pay up for using Reddit’s data and conversations to train their algorithms. But it has been predominantly flourishing on Reddit in part because the platform allows users to remain anonymous and does not prohibit them from sharing sexually explicit content. “So for them to be sharing these copies publicly, and then creating new content with my image to distribute and train the AI systems, it basically means that I as a person have zero control or ability to stop it.”ĪI generated porn has also popped up on other platforms like Twitter and Instagram. “For people to still have copies of this is already a huge infringement on my legal rights,” she says. The victim, who spoke anonymously with Forbes out of concern that videos of her would resurface, says that sexually explicit videos of her were uploaded to Reddit and other sites without her consent and were later taken down.
