An example of a situation where AI is in the wrong hands.
Collectors have started using fake intimate photos and videos to extort debtors, the Telegram base channel reports, referring to the injured Russian woman. According to the girl, for a micro-loan of 20 thousand rubles, they demand from her up to 200 thousand, and the photos created by AI are sent to relatives and colleagues.
A girl named Yekaterina said that she took a loan from one of the organizations. But a private person transferred the money to her, which caused problems in repaying the debt.
A month and a half later, the girl started receiving threats. Unknown people created intimate photos of her using a neural network and sent them to friends. Catherine's colleagues and even her grandmother received the photos.
At the same time, the amount demanded by the collectors changed constantly - from 100 to 200 thousand rubles. The bank card numbers to which they offered to transfer money also changed.
Then the attackers came to Catherine's older sister. They created a porn video with her face and sent the video to the girl's colleagues and friends.
After Katarina talked about what happened on social networks, other people started writing to her. They claim that they also faced similar extortion. It is still unknown who exactly is behind sending the fakes.
