User Questions the Ethics of Asking DeepSeek About AI Porn Using a Friend’s Photos

Summary

The post describes a user who encountered an advertisement for an AI tool that promoted making videos from friends’ photos. The user then asked DeepSeek whether using a friend’s photos to create AI pornography would be unethical. The user says they did not create such material, but briefly considered the idea and later became distressed by having entertained it. After discussing the episode on Reddit, the user faced angry reactions, despite repeatedly stating that no AI pornography had been made. The post asks whether merely researching the ethical question warrants blame or amounts to condemning a thought rather than an action. It presents the user’s account and uncertainty, rather than establishing any broader conclusion about AI tools or consent norms.
