Having seen quite a few of these Stable Diffusion porn generations, can I just say they're less porn and more nightmare fuel? Those faces... and hands... shudder
It does relatively better at generating faces in portraits, but the more zoomed out you get, the worse the faces become. And that's just in general, not specifically nudes.
That said, as long as (a) these subreddits moderate the content to remove generations depicting real people, and (b) the subreddits are marked as NSFW with the usual "I am 18+" acknowledgement to enter, I don't see why the subreddits need to be shut down entirely.
Why is everyone with criticisms about DALLE-E, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion so focused on their day 1 capabilities? The fact that it can do any of what it does today, is absolutely insane. Is no one focusing on what day 36 or year 2 will look like?
I've been privy to some of the model iterations Midjourney has gone through on their Discord and in a series of a few weeks, they've made substantial gains on generating faces from their V1, V2 and V3 models.
Within a short amount of time, this will no longer be a complaint.
In relation to OP's post, I guess Reddit can't guarantee this won't also turn into DeepFake territory so they're banning it outright.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I agree! Since the invention of transformers, progress in generative AI models has accelerated exponentially. It's an exciting time to live, and they are definitely extraordinary! (I mention transformers because basically every bleeding-edge AI in the last few years has integrated a transformer somewhere in its architecture. They really spurred an AI revolution.)
That said... it would be lying to claim Stable Diffusion's current generations aren't nightmare fuel :D
This, plus the day one capabilities are already useful and are actively being used. For each weird bizarre output there's also one you can barely tell wasn't made by a relatively talented human artist.

Reddit has long stopped caring about being reasonable when it comes to subreddit bans. Their policy now is to just stay well on the safe side with things like this.

Maybe lead with that then.
Why would someone want to lead with irrelevant sermons to the choir before making the remark they came to make?

There’s plenty of nightmare porn on reddit. Let’s not kink shame.
