Civitai, an AI model sharing site backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), is allowing users to AI generate nonconsensual porn of real people, despite the site’s policies against this type of content, increased moderation efforts, and threats from payment processors to deny Civitai service.
After I reached out for comment about this issue, Civitai told me it fixed the site’s moderation “configuration issue” that allowed users to do this. After Civitai said it fixed this issue, its AI video generator no longer created nonconsensual videos of celebrities, but at the time of writing it is still allowing people to generate nonconsensual videos of non-celebrities.
